excel compatibility

[marty]

i have a friend who is running windows 3.1 and excel 5, when she tries to
open in a newer version, not sure which version but when she tries to open
spread sheet she gets an error. the old excel was modified for her business.
are these older versions not compatible? are the formulas that different from
version to version?

thanks

Excel 95 (version 7) can be opened in later versions.
Your friend needs to modernize.

yes i agree and that is the purpose. i will try to get some errors she is
getting to post and the version she is getting them with.
thanks
