I have upgraded to Excel 2003 and have lost the File menue option that allows
a file "Save As". Can someone help

It should still be there but if you haven't used it yet it might be
hidden. Click on File then let your mouse hover over the menu for a
bit. After a few seconds all hidden (and previously unused) menu
options should appear. Pick the Save As and it should show up in the
future.

Tried this but all that opened where "Save as a web page" (which offerred htm
format) and "Save as a workspace" (Which offerred *.xlw format) - No "Save
As" that would allow just a name change and retain the *.xls format.

I'm not sure as to why your Save As... command is not showing up, but the keyboard shortcut for Save As... should be the [F12] key
all by itself. That should be a work-around for you.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks - this works. MS has suggested a reinstall of excel

Before you try reinstalling excel, you could try resetting the toolbar.

Tools|Customize|toolbars tab
select worksheet menu bar
click reset

(Reinstalling excel probably won't help fix a toolbar problem. Reinstalling is
"smart" enough to not touch user's files--including the toolbar (*.xlb) file.)

Is that for real, did you call MS support and they actually told you to
reinstall Excel?

How much did they charge you for that fine example of tech support?
