Excel is a part of Microsoft Office, not Windows XP. You need a copy of
Office or Excel to work on Excel files. You can use Excel Viewer to view and copy data from Excel files: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en "megaman" wrote: I have windows xp Home edition and I cannot open Excell files without errors happening.

Excel is not included with Windows OS currently or in the past.
It is part of MS Office Suite or a stand-alone application. You don't download Excel. You purchase it or Office Suite from a retailer or order from MS on line. They will send you a CD. For info on ordering see this website. http://www.microsoft.com/office/programs/default.asp to see the Office products and how to purchase. Note:you probably don't need XL2003 so browse to the "previous versions" section. Check out Ebay for a deal on Office 97 or 2000. If you go this route, make sure there is a licence for the product. If you just want to view or print the Excel file you can Download and install the Excel Viewer from.... http://office.microsoft.com/download.../xlviewer.aspx Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Tue, 18 Apr 2006 03:20:01 -0700, megaman wrote: I have windows xp Home edition and I cannot open Excell files without errors happening.
