Hi?
I have a problem of opening Excel file, which was imported from my laptop.
Whenever I try to open Excel file, I get this error message.
"An error occurred while opening 'file'."

I can make new file in my pocket pc and can open in my laptop. However, once
I save it in my laptop and export to my pocket pc, I can't open that file.
Is this related with some secruity permission?

My laptop OS is Windows XP service pack 2 and my pocket OS is Windows Mobile
2003.

Thank you.

Have a good day.

Is there anything special with the file, ie are there embedded charts,
is it password protected, etc.? Are you sending the file via
ActiveSync, or via an IR connection?

No, Nothing special with Excel file.
And I usually synchronize files via ActiveSync (ver. 3.8.0)
Today, I found new problem with my Pocket Excel.
When I enter some number (such as 19000) in the cell of my pocket Excel, it
is converted to like this (G1927n19271927Monl).
Hence, I checked the format of cells. The caterory of cells was General.
It's so strange.
I guess somthing wrong with my pocket Excel.

Thanks!

Can you try disabling the conversion to Pocket Excel - go into Tools
-> Options, Rules tab, Conversion Settings button, Desktop to Device
tab and edit "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" and change Type to No
conversion. Pocket Excel can read normal Excel files just fine.

The pocket excel file doesn't include any charts of
images. It only contains text. And I usually synch with
ActiveSync (ver 3.8.0)

Thanks!

Are you using unicode characters (ie Chinese/Korean/Cyrillic/etc.)?

I installed the unicode character (Korean Input system
IME 2002). However, usually I do not use that character.

Can you try transferring files saved on another computer and see if
they open OK?
