Hi CGM3,

Is there a particular reason you want to save in formats that in most respects died long ago? IIRC, to be able to do so, you'd need to install the relevant file converters, and I'm not even sure you can get them any more. If you don't see those formats listed as options in the File|SaveAs dialogue, you don't have the filters installed. The reason the values remain in the Excel vba specification is because someone might still have files in those formats (plus the filters to go with them) and needs to maintain something for, eg DbaseIII.
