    Activex controls Excel 2007 in Excel 2003

    Hi there,

    I had to create a form for our graphics department in Excel and I stupidly created it using Excel 2007 when everybody else is on 2003.

    The form has tons of text boxes, combo boxes, check boxes and radio buttons plus a wee bit of VBA.

    For some reason I cannot exit design mode under Excel 2003 so it's quite useless. Has anyone seen this before?

    Thanks!

    Open the original 2007 one, exit design mode & save as .xls
    Hope that helps.
