Excel 5.0 on Win2k pro

[bobdigi]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible for Excel 5.0 to run on Win 2k pro. One of our users is using an old spreadsheet and can't save it to Excel 97 because it contains Macros which will not work in this version and they won't pay to have them upgraded.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Bob

I'm sure Excel 5.0 will run on Win2k. When you say that 'they' won't pay to upgrade, I'm assuming that there is another company involved who has created this spreadsheet. If this is the case, then their client base must be extremely small (as I don't see a lot of companies putting up with this).

Also, to further qualify, If you want to install and use more than one version of Office on the
same computer, you must install the earliest version first. For example,
if you want to use both Office 97 and Office XP on the same computer,
install Office 97 first. This step is necessary because of the way
registry keys, shared programs, file extensions, and other settings are
managed for each version of Office, and for the programs that are
included with each version of Office.

The following table shows the order in which the versions of Office
should be installed:
Office Installation
version order
---------------------------
4.2 or 4.3 First
95 Second
97 Third
2000 Fourth
XP Fifth
