Numbers Convert to 0 Loading Versions 1.x Files into 2.00 PSS ID Number: Q20797 Article last modified on 01-24-1989 PSS database name: D_MPlan

2.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

Numbers convert to 0 during conversion from earlier versions of Multiplan to Multiplan Version 2.00. This problem occurs only on a system with an 8087/80287 math coprocessor.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 2.00. This problem was corrected in Version 2.01.

A workaround to this problem is as follows:


 * 1) Use the environment command “SET NO87=TRUE” in DOS before loading the files into Versions 1.x.
 * 2) Save the worksheet in SYLK (Transfer Options set to Symbolic) format.
 * 3) Load the SYLK file into Version 2.00.
 * 4) Save the file with Transfer Options set to Normal.
