unicode characters - read only error ?

[Harvey]

Using an Excel 2001 file across a Mac network under OS 9. Getting the
following error from networked users:

"This file has unicode charaters that could not be converted to the
active codepage. Since some data has been lost, the workbook is being
marked read-only"

Causing disquiet. Any advice ?

XL01 doesn't handle unicode, so there isn't much to do... If you upgrade
to OSX, Office 2004 is unicode compatible.
