trouble saving biabacus

Post #1 made 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm running excel 2007 in my computer. when I save the blank biabacus spreadsheet, it's does so perfectly. When downloading a file posted by Mad_Scientist, it saves perfectly. when I try to save any changes to the blank file I get weird messages. ie: "The name cqy8 either conflicts with a valid range..."

If I try to save as Excel "97-2003 workbook", excel tells me something about "minor loss of fidelity".

Is there anything I should do to my excel program to make it compatible with biabacus?

Thank you

Greg, I can't help with Excel Products.

I moved to Libre-Office, 4 years ago, and have never looked Back.

Libre-Office is a bit slower than Excel, But, does everything that Excel does, and is Excellent with the BIABACUS.XLS programs

You may have to adjust screen Position or Zoom Level to suit you Screen Size.

Also, if you save the Program as .XLS you can attach then to these Posts perfectly.

It also does a great job of converting MS-Word files to PDF.

Greg, saving the BIABacus as a 97-2003 workbook will be fine. Give that a go first. There's a possibility that, in another file, you have the cell cqy8 named? No idea. The BIABacus is actually very complicated software written into the primitive platform of a spreadsheet. If it is causing problems such as you have mentioned, the file may have been corrupted in some way. The easiest way to check against this is to download one of the main files and see if they play up in the same way.
