Trying to open spreadsheet on mew windows connect tablet

Hi,

I have recently purchased a windows connect tablet with office programs installed. I have sent a spreadsheet from my laptop to the tablet so I can do basic editing and updating on their rather than get the laptop out all the time.

On trying to open the spreadsheet on the tablet, it comes up with an error message "cannot open spreadsheet due to not supporting active x controls" or something like that. I've done some quick research to see if I could resolve but no luck, from what I can see I believe it may have something to do with the macros built into the spreadsheet, so I tried copying a version and deleting all macros but still wouldn't work.

Can't work out what else to do, please could someone help as it was one of the main reasons of buying the tablet so will be annoying if can't use it for the basic editing of the spreadsheets. I'm using excel 2002 on my laptop in case you need to know. Hopefully there is a way around it.

I appreciate your help in advance.

Thanks.
Neil.

Yes I do have a few command buttons but I thought by deleting the macro relating to them that should solve it but do I need to delete the physical button?

Its office mobile but I only want it to do basic inputting weekly, so it should be more than up to the task.

If I'm honest I hadn't realised I had used active x, I thought I was just using standard control buttons. How do I do that then?

Thanks i'll have a go at that, failing that i'll delete the lot then hopefully it will work. Thanks.

not looking good as I have tried deleting all the macros again and this time also deleted the actual buttons on the sheet but it still doesnt work. It says can't open workbooks with active x controls. I now have no idea what is causing it.

It is only a few kb. Why would I need to post it here, do you have an idea?

There'll be an activex control on a worksheet that you've missed, if you post the workbook we should be able to find it
