    Open Excel, Save Excel

    Hi All,

    I am working with Access. I need a few lines to add to a script to open a workbook and save it again in *.xls format. It is currently in *.xlsx format and my macro cannot open it for some reason.

    The file is declared already as a full path as "excelPath" e.g. C:/Desktop/File.xlsx

    Can anyone assist?

    Thanks
    dvent

    I think you want to skip the extension, or make it xls:
