May corrupt database etc. Thus after 14 years of working with a specific Accounts program [Windows ONLY code base and IE as interface], I call up MS Excel before starting accounts , and open it with no sheets open. Then a save to Excel works easily. Much correspondence with Accounts program folk(or 'so-called' help desk states , "ONLY IE" is used on "EVERY computer" so we do not permit other browsers, "ONLY MS Excel" is used on EVERY computer " so ... Unfortunately , I have to use this accounts program as it is locked into clients network . Funnily all analysis after saving is or course done in Libre Office (or previously in Open Office.org) and reposted to others as a MS Format .xls saved in LO and no one notices that. -- 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
