Hi there
I am trying to view and edit documents that are on a desktop computer
running Windows 98, on my laptop running Windows XP over a network. The
computer with 98 on it is running Office 97 and my laptop is running Office
2003. I can, using my laptop(XP,office 2003), go in and view what folders
and files are on the host computer(98,office 97), but when I try to open any
of these office files, they will not open( word, or excel programs). I can
send them from the host computer to my laptop via email and open them, or I
can open them from another laptop that is a part of the network that is
running office 2000 and save them to that laptop, and then view them with my
own laptop, but can not open the files on the host computer from my
laptop(office 2003). If anyone can help with this matter it would be greatly
appreciated.
