All spreadsheets I know can save as MS Excel format. That is not the problem. QuickBooks can only "export to an actual MS Excel program" installed on same machine. It cannot 'save' an MS Excel of other spreadsheet format file, it can only "open MS Excel" ( it calls MS Excel from QB internal command , not a 'save to MS Excel' format command. ) and then import the sheet and then you save from Excel. [Sorry , but I have used QuickBooks for years and run both Linux, FOSS and MS software so I know this lock in is deliberate and vital to QB's revenues. -- Regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
