    Resolved [RESOLVED] Excel FileFormat

    When i'm saving my workbook created through VB with:
    Code:
    myWorkBook.SaveAs "c:\someFile.xls", [fileFormat]
    ... and i want the file format to be Excel 97-2003... what format should i use? Cause there is no xlExcel11, only xlExcel12 (2007). Should i use xlExcel8?

    I think xlExcel8 is the closest you are going to get.

    I believe Excel 8 is equivalent to Excel 97 - so, it looks ok

    It also seems MS haven't done anything with it for 10 years

    Thank you!

    There is only up to Excel 97 format.

    Const xlExcel8 = 56

    Then it goes to Excel 2007 format.

    Const xlExcel12 = 50

    And if your not sure you can always use the default format of what is instanned on the system.

    Const xlWorkbookNormal = -4143
