MS Office Forum / Excel / General Excel Questions / May 2008XLR files
Some of the Excel worksheets that are saved show up as an xlr file and the result is that Excel will not open the file. can someone explain why? What is the determining factor for an Excel file remaining an Excel file or becoming an XLR file? Thanks An XLR file is a Microsoft Works spreadsheet and not an Excel workbook. It's been a long time since I've dabbled in Works so I can't say without a doubt that you can save a Works spreadsheet as an Excel workbook, but you should be able to open it. Check out the following Microsoft web page for all the gory details: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HA010448771033.aspx?pid=CL100570551033  SignatureKevin Backmann > Some of the Excel worksheets that are saved show up as an xlr file and the > result is that Excel will not open the file. can someone explain why?

Thanks Thanks Kevin, I guess this is my delema.. The xlr file was posted on an excel sheet...(I don't have microsoft works programs in this computer) I shows in "my documents" as an xlr file. When I ckick to open it, it opens on an excel worksheet. I've transfered the file(s) to a new computer which did have the ms works programs. hence the xlr files went to this program. I've installed ms office,uninstalled msworks, retransfered the excel files to the new computer but after doing that, nothing will open the files.. It shows ms word as a which program would you like to open this file with thing but when it's tried all I get is alot of yyyyooooand so on. can't seem to push my that was easy button for this one. jThanks again... |
