Yep, same customer. Most of their spreadsheets are .xlr which are Works

files. It's a little tiny business back east and their IT department

has their system locked down tighter than a drum. I don't have any

problem with that as long as the IT folks will work with me. Which

these are.

I thought I finally had this xlsx problem nailed down until today.

Thank goodness for Profox!
