Ah!!! you need the new super dooper XLS speedy reader 2008 :smug:
Actually I think it might be excel but I'm sure someone more techie will be along soon to tell me what a load of bollox I'm talking smile
ok clever clogs where can i get one of them from? lol lol
Ah sorted Ty fire i got it open and readable (it wasnt opening just by saying open with microsoft office i had to open excel first and play about abit) damn invoices confusing me
Thank you kiss
.xls is an Excel document, you probable have the cheaper home version which wont read it, ask them to convert it and send again.
I think you now have office suite which uses .xml
Winey's right, you can download Office 08 for a free trial to enable you to at least open the document. wink
The version of office i have does have excel but ive not really used it alot (chat and forum does not really require it lol ) and i didnt know what sort of file xls file was :doh: until fire first pointed me in the right direction then i messed about and got it open and it appears i have the full version
see ya learn summit new everyday
