Excel for OS/2: Start-up File Not Supporting HPFS PSS ID Number: Q58072 Article last modified on 06-23-1993 PSS database name: W_eXceL

2.20

OS/2

Summary:

A start-up file in Microsoft Excel for OS/2 is a file that you want Excel to open each time it starts. A start-up file is any file (worksheet, chart, or macro sheet) that follows the pattern START.XL.

The start-up file does not support HPFS filenames. This means that the filename is limited to the FAT style of an eight-character name followed by a three-character extension.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Excel for OS/2 Version 2.20. We are researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.
