I have a user who has a bunch of Lotus 1, 2, 3 spreadsheets that he is
trying to convert to Excel. His version of Lotus is old (version 5), his
version of Excel is 2000 sp2. The files convert but they are missing pages
or headings or other unacceptable qualities. Anyone any advice?

If you open the files using Excel and save them to an .xls format in the
current version you are losing data?

A while back I needed to do this. I wrote an application in VB that loops
through the files, opens them using Excel (add a reference in VB to MS
Office 10) and then save them in the current version. I have not
encountered any issues with data being lost.
