Excel Ownership

[Barbara A Lewis]

I receive numerous Excel 2000 documents that are created
by and sent/emailed to me by others. All too often I have
a problem printing these documents even after I have saved
them to my local drive. Suggestions? Thanks.

"Have a problem" would be anything between "I don't really have a computer"
to bogus BeforePrint macros. Can you provide more detail ?

Best wishes Harald

Detail? I will received an Excel 2000 document emailed
from one of our vendors or consultants. I work with many
of each. I can usually open it as an attachment from the
email. When I need a hard copy I have tried printing it
from the opened attachment. It always appears to go to
print, but often does not. Because I understand that
Excel ownership can be an issue, I will often save a copy
of the attachment to my hard drive or to a network drive
to change the file ownership to me. Most often this will
work. However, all too often it will not. Today is an
example of that. I wish I could send the document, but
cannot. For documents that will not print I end up
working with them in soft copy. This tends to be
inconvient since I am reading many numbers: revenues,
expenses, contract numbers, etc. Hope this is what you
are looking for. Thanks.

I can't speak to your printing problem but I would suggest that you ALWAYS
right click and save the attachment to the folder of your choice on your HD
before working with it. Also, never work with a file that is on removable
disks such as ce's or floppies. Always save to the HD, work with it, save,
copy back to the floppy.

Thanks. So far, so good.
