What do I need to do to open my old Lotus WK4 files in Excel?
Do you still have your old version of Excel? You'll have to open and convert
the files to a format the new version will read, then open them in the new version. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Jim" wrote in message ...

What do I need to do to open my old Lotus WK4 files in Excel?
I still have my old computer running Windows 2000 Pro. When I try to open
the WK4 files with it, I get the following message "You are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting." Can I get around this? "Jim" wrote: I am trying to open some old Lotus WK4 file. The new version of Excel will not open them. What do I do? |

Who has set this policy? Is it your company's IT department? Or was it
perhaps a helpful security update? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Jim" wrote in message ...

It's my computer and I didn't set it. Probably a "helpful security update".

Thanks, it worked. Now all I have to do is convert all of the WK4 files to
XLS and then transfer them to the new computer. Thanks again.
