Excel 97 to Excel 2002

[Dean]

What items must be taken in consideration before upgrading
Excel 97 to Excel 2002? (i.e. what changes to 97 .xls
files must be made to work properly in Excel 2002?)

 

[Harald Staff]

None, they'll be fine as is. File format is the same and nothing is removed since 97.

Hello Harald,

I wish I had continued with that list I started when I was so p****
off at MS.
I was trying to get programs written in 97 to work in both 97 and 2002
versions. I shuffled thru it finally and gave up on the list. Font
spacing I believe, was the first issue I discovered, followed by
non-working arguments in On.Action assignments. Enough of that.

You forgot..."Office Binder", included with Office 97 is not available
with Office 2002. You have to copy/move/transfer it yourself.

Regards,

I'd be very interested to see standalone Excel files/programs that don't work in later
versions. "Look uglier" is not that same as on't work though. Would you by any chance
still have them ?

Hehe. That was on my "I'll have to learn that one some day" list. And when the spare time
finally arrived the whole thing was obsolete.

Best wishes Harald

Harald,

No, I don't.
