Hi All,

Can DTRules work with Open Office Calc files?

Regards,

Ron

DTRules uses the Windows 97 format (.doc) which can be editted using Open Office just fine.

I'm confused, I thought the rules used .xls format files. Isn't that
what excel uses, xls format?

Grrrrr... Sorry, my brain wasn't in gear. No you are absolutely correct. You use .xls format.

I just got to thinking about using office, and .doc came out.

On my computers I usually use Libre Office, and I have also used KOffice (a linux based office suite).

The decision tables are very simple. They don't use formulas or anything complex. Basically anything that can read and write a .xls format file with multiple sheets will work just fine.
