hi
xl will open a wk4 or earlier version of lotus but xl stopped supporting
after that. if your lotus file are in .123 format you will have to find
someone with a copy of lotus. lotus will save a file in xl format (and faster
than xl will save a file in xl format) but if the file has vb macros in it,
you will loose these. lotus does not support vbe.
