Excel 97 to Excel 2002

What items must be taken in consideration before upgrading
Excel 97 to Excel 2002? (i.e. what changes to 97 .xls
files must be made to work properly in Excel 2002?)

None, they'll be fine as is. File format is the same and nothing is removed since 97.

Hello Harald,

I wish I had continued with that list I started when I was so p****
off at MS.
I was trying to get programs written in 97 to work in both 97 and 2002
versions. I shuffled thru it finally and gave up on the list. Font
spacing I believe, was the first issue I discovered, followed by
non-working arguments in On.Action assignments. Enough of that.

You forgot..."Office Binder", included with Office 97 is not available
with Office 2002. You have to copy/move/transfer it yourself.

Regards,

Jim Cone

I'd be very interested to see standalone Excel files/programs that don't work in later
versions. "Look uglier" is not that same as on't work though. Would you by any chance
still have them ?

Hehe. That was on my "I'll have to learn that one some day" list. And when the spare time
finally arrived the whole thing was obsolete.

Harald,

No, I don't.
