Manipulating the Excel (XLS) files created by Bank Genie

<< < (2/2)

barryl:
Just by the way it may well not be worth maintaining the generation of the older Excel format, and it would be less confusing to users to see only one resultant .xls file.

ideasguy:
Yes, I agree. I'll eliminate one of the output files Barry.

Excel versions are generally backward compatible - you can read old files on new versions. Installing the Microsoft Office compatibility pack enables older versions of Office to read the newer versions of Excel, Word and Powerpoint, i.e. read xlsx docx pptx files.

Sorry if this is a long time after the original thread, but I was catching up and thought it might be useful to someone.

Thank you for posting this John and welcome back to the forum!
The export to XLS feature applies to Bank Genie and also Ideas Genie. I've been asked to allow plants list reports to have that XLS option available.
