Not so much in complaining about the loading but your point about the Unicode style is interesting. It seems if I open and save the file, the defaults through EXCEL list it as a Unicode file rather than EXCEL. I actually did not pay much attention to the process until your statement regarding the Unicode.

If you brought up the file in Excel, it gave you this error message first, but then loaded the file okay. That was my clue that this really wasn't an Excel file after all, even though with some nudging Excel could read it. Does Excel complain when you try to load the file? Karen I guess including the message would have been a good idea. " .file.xls exists but is not a storage object." Thanks Gary
