Not True Excel Files

[rwarden]

We export Excel files to several clients for unattended automated processing. The export file created by R&R is not a true Excel file - all that has occurred is that the extension has been changed from WKS to XLS. After opening an "Excel" file created by R&R and saving it, an Excel dialog reports that the file "may contain features that are not compatible with WKS(1-2-3)." This confirms the file is in a WKS (not XLS) format.____In our situation the (XLS/WKS) files created by R&R cannot be processed by our customer^s automated system - they have to be true Excel files. Please either update R&R so that the files are Excel files, or don^t claim that it is.

We changed the default extension for worksheet export from WKS to XLS to facilitate the opening of worksheets created by R&R by Excel. You are correct that the internal format has not changed and is still an earlier worksheet format.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Is there any intention to change to a true Excel file?
