Unable to open excel 2007 file in excel 2002 despite having installed compatibility pack for office

[CW]

Hi

I have installed office compatibility pack for office 2007. However, every
time I try to open an xlsx file, I get unrecognized format error in Excel
2002. I can open docx without an issue. It appears to be that the problem is
related specifically to excel 2007. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
Office XP, Office XP SP3, compatibility pack without an iota of difference

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance

Hi CW

Is SP3 installed?
Microsoft Excel 2002 with Service Pack 3

Hi Ron

I have indicated in my original post that I have installed Office XP SP3. If
you are referring windows XP SP3, then the answer is yes.

Thanks

CW

Sorry, I not read that

I not test the compatibility pack on a PC with Office XP
I add it to my list of things to do.

I post back in this thread after I have test it
