The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Pocket Excel version 1.0
  • Microsoft Windows CE version 1.0

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 '<filename>'. 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: 

   http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/hpc/software/hpcexplorer.htm.

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.
