    upload question

    While the forum will allow uploading of pictures and Word documents, it doesn't allow the uploading of Excel documents. It didn't even allow an Excel upload with an e-mail address through the PM system.

    Confused?

    Good question. Why are they not allowed?

      probably for security reasons as excel sheets can contain malicious macros etc...

        Because scripts can be run in excel. Scrips easily contain viruses or Trojans.

            excel spreadsheet on OSE Forum

            You can copy and paste an excel spreadsheet into a Word document and attach or email it.

              Or just zip it, easier to do... and to scan for viruses before unzipping.

                Well there ya go, two ways around it.

                Just remember the max file size limit is 1 meg for a doc and 100k for a zip.

                  Printing the excel file to PDF is easy.

                    My buddy Sean converted it to a pdf for me. It worked.

                    Thanks for all the other ideas. However for me it is like trying speak a language I do not know. :)

                      Same with me ... isn't FE Calc an Excell program?

                      When it comes to PC's I can build an awesome comp but when it comes to software I am at a loss.
