"Claytons?" What's that? Doing a search on http://www.google.com/linux for "Excel spreadsheet Clayton" wasn't any help... 2 irrelevant hits. If you're asking if there is a version of QuickBooks that runs natively in Linux... not yet. I haven't seen anything specific that Excel is porting QuickBooks to Linux, but in light of their recent activity, it wouldn't surprise me at all: http://linuxpr.com/releases/4738.html I don't know if this is of any help or not, but going to the spreadsheet app of Star Office 5.2, and hitting the "Save As" button gives me Windows file format options of Microsoft Excel 97/2000 Microsoft Excel 95 Microsoft Excel 5.0 Doing the same thing in OpenOffice 6.4.1 the first option now looks like Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP I don't know if that answers your question specifically, or if you've tried OpenOffice yet, but it does seem to indicate that file format compatibility capabilities are being kept current. -- Steve Ackman http://twoloonscoffee.com (Need green beans?) http://twovoyagers.com (glass, linux & other stuff)
