I have an old spreadsheet with macros that was designed and ran in Lotus 123 under DOS. We were using a DOS window under older releases of Windows, but now I can't get WinMe to do DOS anymore.

I've tried to open the file with 123 v9 and I've tried to open it with Excel. Both say they cannot recognize the file.

My question has a few parts:

1) How can I convert the .wk3 file to a Windows version of Lotus.

2) If I cannot do that, can I convert the .wk3 file to Excel.

3) If I cannot do that, can I run the DOS version of 123 under WinMe.

Can anyone help me with this dilemma?

Try saving the file as a comma delimited text file or something of that sort. I don't know the exact specifics of the version of 123 you are using, but almost every spreadsheet I've ever seen can save a delimited text file in some way.

If you don't have such an option, please let me know what you can save as or export as and I'll help further.
