Hi Indochine,
I have followed your instuctions through but when I try to open I amgetting tjis message xis is not valid 32 application,please can you advise, thanks

 

You need to tell me what you are trying to do. Otherwise I cannot help.

You have a program. Tell me its name.

You wish to associate files with that program. What files?

what is "xis"?

 

Sorry Indochine,
I am trying to open this attachment corrugated.xls(25.1KB), hope this throws some light on my efforts

 

an xls file is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Do you have Excel on your system?

 

HI indochine,
No I don't have Excel on my system,but I will make tracks on getting it on,until then that will be the end of this story.
Thank you very much for your time and advice it was appreciated
Bob

 

When you have Excel installed then you won't need to do anything else, it will open .xls files when you double click them.
