![]() I created a "2006" version of a workbook directly from the "2005" version and saved it on our network. Another person tried to open the 2006 version and it opened as a blank sheet although she was able to open the 2005 version without problems. I created the spreadsheets in Excel 2003. She is running Excel 2000. I tried to search for incompatibility issues on the MS web site with no success. Are there any known issues? Thanks for your help!

Nope. The file format for xl97 to xl2003 is the same. So any of these versions
should be able to open your file. I'd try again. I'd use windows explorer. traverse to the folder that holds your 2005 workbook rightclick on that file copy find an empty spot on that right hand side rightclick|paste Rename "copy of...." to the name you want for 2006. Then share that version again. burnsbyrne wrote: I created a "2006" version of a workbook directly from the "2005" version and saved it on our network.

![]() Thanks for your suggestion, Dave. Since I wrote my first post I tried deleting the custom views settings that I had added to the spreadsheet. The other user is now able to open the file off the network. Why? ![]() would like to find out. I'll give your solution a try and see if something weird happened when I copied the file in the first place.

I don't have a guess--but I wouldn't rule out coincidence--and something else
was wrong (not the custom views). burnsbyrne wrote: Thanks for your suggestion, Dave. Since I wrote my first post I tried deleting the custom views settings that I had added to the spreadsheet.

Maybe gremlins? ;) 99-100% of the problems that I find in excel are user errors (mine included). There's just so much that a user can do that they (er, I) can't keep track of all the stuff done to try to replicate it. (Just don't feed them after midnight!) -- Dave Peterson |
