Excel 2007 send xlsb problem

[GlennUK]

Hi all,

I posted this question in the Microsoft community in case it was a bug ...

if I send an xlsb workbook ( Binary ) by using the Send To function the resulting attached workbook seems to be converted to Compatibilty mode ( xls ), BUT the extension of the attached workbook remains as xlsb, resulting in
the fact that people can't open it directly. ( it's Outlook by the way )

Apparently this doesn't happen to other people ( Ron De Bruin tried it on his machine with no problem ).

So, it sounds like a settings problem. Does anyone have any idea about which settings I have to change to get this working? I don't need a workaround, I need a solution, as this has to be applied to all Excel 2007 machines in the company where I'm working.

Cheers, Glenn.

Did you hear about the literalist show-jumper? He broke his nose jumping against the clock.

More info ...

this only happens when the XLSB file is in Shared mode.

Hi all,

Ron de Bruin has a workaround for this ...

http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...5298&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us

which is changing the default Save format
in Excel 2007 from xlsm to xlsx.

Cheers, Glenn.
