The Worksheet was created in an earlier beta version of Excel 2007 - Problem Office 2007 & Vista RTM

[Reflex]

Having used Beta 2 of Office 2007 I was not expecting any problems when I
installed the RTM version however I'm unable to open a number of
spreadsheets, the follwoing error is displayed:-

The Worksheet was created in an earlier beta version of Excel 2007, and it
cannot be opened in the current version of Excel.

I've tried the follwoing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926054 but the
registry keys do not exist and the Administrative template has no effect?

I'm running both Vista Ultimate & Office 2007 RTM version, is there a
soultion?

Thanks

Doesn't help much but the file format was not nailed for most of the beta
and was using a hybrid most of the time. I think you can open B2TR files in
RTM, but not BR pre-TR.

If these are mission critical (avoids tag re not using beta
software.......), you could uninstall RTM and re-install beta and save as
1997-2003, obviously with any loss of fidelity
