Karen I am happy you have found a reasonable workaround!
But when you think of it an upgrade to 7.6 or extreme is a better option for you and the clients future. If you want to stay current, you should stay current for R:Base and Excel alike!! I do understand your client is a large company that requires full control of software without any intervention from outside, but to stay old on one piece and new on an other is bad management sooner or later from their perspective they will be hit. Sorry to be messenger for bad news in the long run! But still the workaround will work for x years to come My only suggestions are to upgrade and maybe utilize ODBC instead of gateway which I find more elegant when integrating foreign data sources including Excel.

A simple test with a save as CSV from Office 2007 imports into 6.5++ just fine, even text with spaces and commas. We haven't tested using real-world spreadsheets yet, but it seems like this will be the way we go. The Office 2007 save as Excel 5.0 does produce a workbook, not a worksheet, and 6.5++ does not recognize it. Karen Karen I believe you best option is to save as DIF or CSV then rework your 6.5++ import accordingly. Unless of course you cant convince them yo upgrade 6.5++ to the latest and greatest 7.6 or extreme.
