unable to save excel 2000 documents

[Guest]

I have several users who have excel spreadsheets setup that they use for
providing quotes to customers. Lately, several of them have been having
trouble with getting error messages when trying to save edits as a new
document. I have tried reinstalling the software but that has not fixed the
issue. The save as default is listed to save as Microsoft Excel Workbook,
however when the user goes to save it, it is coming up to save as Microsoft
Excel 97-2000 & 5.0/95 Workbook. I cannot figure out why it is coming up
this way. The most recent user stated that he had just installed several
windows updates (windows 2000). Does anyone have any ideas as to the
possible cause and fix for this?

Hello,
Maybe you need to update the spreadsheets. The workbooks may have been carry
overs from an earlier version of Excel.

Best to copy each sheet to a new workbook rather than Save as..

These are spreadsheets that they use on a daily/weekly basis, and their
version of excel has not changed. The only common denominator to those
having this problem is that it seems to become a problem after installing
windows updates.
