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.I see, I hadn't appreciated that that was the situation. He must have MSOffice installed as well as QB, I guess -- only to be expected. So, Microsoft has arranged for QuickBooks not to do ordinary, basic interoperability stuff. What a vicious anti-competitive ploy. I wonder if Neelie Kroes is onto it? (I'm copying this to her secretariat)
