SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to copy or move a Microsoft Excel 97 file from your desktop computer to your Handheld PC (H/PC), you receive the following error message:

Cannot convert file ' '. This Microsoft Excel file was created in a version of Microsoft Excel that is not supported by the selected converter. The Pocket Excel converter can only convert Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 files.



RESOLUTION
Install the latest version of H/PC Explorer software to resolve this problem. Microsoft H/PC Explorer version 1.1 is available for download from Microsoft's Internet site at:

MORE INFORMATION
File conversion from desktop Excel to Pocket Excel works the same as before. Simply drag the file you want from the desktop to the H/PC or from the H/PC to the desktop and conversion and file transfer happen automatically. It's important that you install Microsoft Office before installing H/PC Explorer so that H/PC Explorer can find the desktop version of Excel and it's associated converter software modules during setup.
