I have been transferring my 2 excel files back and forth from my desktop to laptop for probably a year and a half with no problems. Then last week my main file would not open correctly on my desktop when transferred over. It was all just a bunch of weird symbols and such. It was still fine on the desktop though and my secondary file transferred correctly. Then just now my secondary file doesnt transfer correctly, it opened and had some info, but was missing most of the worksheets and negative #s were in a diff format. Thanks for any help.
That error message has happened to me when trying to open an Excel 2007 file (extension .xlsx) in Excel 2003 (extension .xls).
Are you using the same version on both computers?
Microsoft had a security update for Excel 2003 last week. That could be part of the problem if one computer has the update and the other doesn't.
