| How to download .xls file e-mail attachments? I cannot download pricelists attached to e-mails from vendors who send their pricelists in this manner. Can I do this with Windows XP home edition 2004? What do I need to do? Apistomaster      |

These are Excel spreadsheet files. You need Excel, or a compatible program, to open them. Since you can't open them, you presumably don't have such a program installed. However, if all you want to do is view existing Excel spreadsheets, rather than create them yourself, you don't need a copy of Excel. You can download a free Excel viewer at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en or http://tinyurl.com/6tss3 One more point: these files can have macro viruses within them. If it were me, I wouldn't open such attachments sent to me by vendors. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
