Dear All,

Now I am using Excel 2007 on my new desktop.

But I could not open/use those excel RA Files (ACTIVITY.XLS and PROJECT.XLS) to export and import.

When I try to open those excel files this messege comes "could not load an object because it is not available in this machine" !!!

What should I do? Please help me !!!

Regards

Reinstall Excel 2003. you can retain both excel 2003 and 2007 on the same OS. Use 2003 for export-import and 2007 for the rest. I find MS Excel 2007 much superior to its predecessors. Alternatively, consider using Open Office (freeware) for dbf/wk1 formats.

Hi There,

Another problem is that excel 2007 is not allowing to save the files as wk1 or dbf. So that exporting/importing with excel 2007 seems impossible. Do have any idea for this?

Hi There,

Are you serious? I mean going back to excel 2003? If it is the only solution OK. But what is causing this. Have any idea?
