Hmmm. As an Open Office user, I don't use MS Office very much any more although I have a copy of MSO 2003 and many files saved with previous versions of Excel and I was able to open all of them without an issue.

I didn't see your error message. If it was a graphic it was "sanitized" out of the email. Do you know what the text of the error message is?

You either have something that is badly formatted and ignored by MSO 2000 or have not installed something in MSO 2003 that allows you to open spreadsheets from earlier versions of MSO (unlikely). Perhaps with the message text we could get closer to a solution.

Yes it does open in Office 2000:
The Spreadsheet is saved to the IFS as a .xls, now as an example - we have two PC's - one with Office 2000 and another with Office 2003, if I open the same document on the PC with Office 2000 it opens fine with all of the formulas, printing setup and such, however if I open the document on the PC with Office 2003 this is the error I receive....



Clicking on yes open the spreadsheet but without all of the formulas and printing setups that I added?

Does it open in Office 2000? I would guess not. Office 2003 should automatically open a spreadsheet created for an earlier version of Office. It might prompt you to save it in a different format but I think MSO 2003 can open any Office document from earlier versions. I don't recall having to install a "compatibility" component to make that happen.

Hi guys,

I have just written an RPGLE to write to Excel using the HSSF (Thanks
Scott) - but is this only compatible with Office 2000 because since
installing Office 2003 the Spreadsheet is opening with an error of
unreadable content?

Thanks
