excel versions miyuki <miyuki.2ey6s4[ at ]news.excelbanter.com> 30.09.2006 08:57:07 I need to develop a MI report in excel. However, the version on my computer is version 2003, but persons who are going to look at it only have version 97. I've tried to create a test sheet on my computer and requested my user, who's got version 97, to open it. As expected, he was not able to open it. Is there anyway I can create the report in 2003 but the file is to be viewable in 97? -- miyuki

Re: excel versions Dave Peterson <petersod[ at ]verizonXSPAM.net> 30.09.2006 13:15:38 This is not the behavior I'd expect. The file format for xl97 through xl2003 is the same. Any of these versions of excel should be able to open a file created in any other of these versions. If you emailed the .xls file to the other user, maybe something happened in the transmission. You may want to try zipping the file, emailing it, and have the recipient unzip the file to get to the .xls file. I use www.winzip.com, but there are a lot of free zip (and unzip) programs. miyuki wrote: [Quoted Text] > > I need to develop a MI report in excel.
