Access 2003 TransferSpreadsheet issue

[JohnT]

I am using TransferSpreadsheet in Access to create a spreadsheet for a
Windows Mobile device. If I send the spreadhseet directly to the device with
ActiveSync, it will not open on the PDA. It gives an 'invalid format' or
'file may be corrupted' message.

If I open the spreadhseet with Excel and save it first, then move it to the
PDA with ActiveSync, it works fine.

Has anyone experienced this problem or know of a solution without having to
open and save the spreadsheet?

Thanks.
