    Hello John,

    If your recipients have an older version of Excel (pre-2007) and your workbook is saved in 2007 format then they won't be able to read the workbook, unless they have the Office 2007 Converter installed or you save the workbook in 95-2003 format.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    Re: My excel file file is not readable

    What's the plan now? Are you planning to convert to pdf?

    I haven't got Outlook express, but maybe a CDO approach will work.
    Hope that helps.
