conversion Excel 2003 to 2010

**koklok123** · 05-10-2010, 11:01 AM

Is there a conversion pack that I can transfer excel 2003 to Excel 2010.
I'm using beta 2010 but I can't figure out how to convert 2003 files to 2010.

Excel 2010 should be backward compatible to prior versions, as was 2007 with previous versions, so you should not need to convert 2003 to 2010.

However, there is an MS Office 2007 Conversion Conversion Pack that is available and designed to be use to open 2007 files in previous versions (conversions introduces some limitations due to unsupported features and formula in older versions).

Some VBA needs amending for 2007- generally FileSearch, anything to do with Menus & Commandbars. Not sure if it applies to2010, but I should think so

Yes, excel 2010 will read earlier versions with no problem and the same restrictions on VBA with Menus and command bars remains true, also some directory functions in VBA.

There are also additional problems with 64 bit versions of Excel that pop up especially if VBA accesses the windows API!

I have an Excel 2003 file with extensive VBA programming. The issue is that it runs fine on some Win7/Office2010 machines (inputting data/calculating) but not on others. When it does not run, it gives the run-time error 28 (stack overflow) on Win7 machines or on XP machines it simply exits out of Excel completely.

What is odd is that it no longer runs on my computer (XP operating system) ever since Office 2003 was upgraded to Office 2010. None of the forums/suggestions I've tried so far has helped. And since the issue is so dependent on what machine is running it, I believe the problem is not with Win7/XP or Excel 2003/2010 but with perhaps the hardware drivers of the various machines.

Any ideas or suggestions for remediation would be appreciated.
