having trouble

[Robert Walton]

I went to the tips post and tried to download the shiftpoint calculator and I got a message saying the wizard could not open it . What's up with that ? Oh BTW, yes Raymond I did get your E-mail and I will send you $ 50 and my old computer. Do me a favor and check it out and let me know if it has a bad chip or the terminal just wasn't clean

Robert, it is an Excel file. So you probably want to download it first then open with Microsoft Excel ©

 

[Robert Walton]

ahhh

That explains it, I don't have Excel :w

now what ?

Ok I "borrowed" a 95 edition of excel and the Open Loop Calculator and the Shift Point calculator still won't open. It says " file format is not valid "

Hmmmmm, when you click on the link does your browser give you the option to save or open the file ? Make sure to say save when it does the file should be something.xls make sure the .xls is there.

Yup I save it to disc and it has the xls tag. I even tried renaming it. I tried saving it directly to excel but nada. Oh well no biggie :w

I used Excel XP to make it and it is supposed to be backwards compatible, but I bet it only works back to Excel 97.
