Ack! This doesn't sound good. From the ArsTechnica review[1]: "You will run into problems importing some Excel documents. Microsoft and gobe have used different naming conventions for their variables, so some will need to be changed. I was surprised that gobe hadn't used the exact same naming conventions that Microsoft uses. It is a serious pain when a document doesn't import, but after the first few times it gets to be second nature to change them over." Might not be too simple for our people. :( [1] <http://arstechnica.com/reviews/02q2/gobe/gobe-3.html> --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : <http://jijo.free.net.ph/> Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc.
