Actually the workbook should be created in the oldest version and all should just save as an "microsoft excel workbook". Their version will take care of the rest. I never recommend saving as dual as this is just asking for trouble. I develop excel programs using this method for the users who have the older versions. Of course, if you create in xl95 and then save in xl2002 you will no longer be able to open in xl95.
