Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I was wondering if anyone had see this error. I try open a workbook that I had edited and saved a few minutes prior and get the message:

Workbook contains content that is not supported by Excel 2008 for Mac

- OLE DB query tables

It only lets you open read-only and makes you save as a new name. Then you can edit the spreadsheet but when you save and reopen, the cycle repeats.

Any help appreciated.

thanks

You have not mentioned which file format you are using?

I believe you may be able to clear this error by changing file format.

I am using the xlsx format. I will try saving as xls and see if that fixes it.

thanks
