RA Excel Files Help ???

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.

open dbf in access copy to excel, than back to access and save as dbf.

Hello all,

as a matter of fact, one should not use MS Office 2007, except if MSO is the only application software on the computer;

MSO 2007 is denying any working possibility to any other apps on the pc

MSO 2007 is 110% proprietary, it is not even possible to save files under an older MS file format!

ergo, do not use MSO 2007

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?
