Message: [QUOTE="John McGhie, post: 6817790"] Hi Adrian: Well, without a line that says "Microsoft Excel ... " in it, the file is actually NOT any kind of Excel file, which would be why Excel can't read it. That line must be there, or Excel can't access the file. It is usually the very bottom line in the file, but it can be anywhere within the last 500 bytes of the file.
