Can someone tell me how to open a XLS file whe the
message says "windows can not open this XLS file. To open
windows needs to know what program created it"? It was
created in excel spreadsheet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Do you have Excel installed on your Computer?

If so, save the file to Hard Drive then open Windows Explorer and locate the
file. SHIFT + Right-click and select "Open With" and scroll to Excel in the
dialog box. Select and check "always open with".

If no Excel on your computer you can download Free XLViewer at

http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/xlviewer.aspx

Works fine with XL2002 and XL2003 files.

Install and you can view and print, but not edit, Excel workbooks.
