The size is 37.5 kb. I can go into Excel Viewer and SEE where their is
supposed to be drop downs but they are not their, when i uswe the viewer and
try to go to Open for editing, it says Excel 97 is not installed, BUT it is
becuz I use it daily, and this file opens up in MS Works spreadsheet but no
drop downs just the file.
Not sure what ya'll mena by "pen drive" I tried deleting and re downoading
from the email my boss sent.
Nothing is working!
Please help, I do know computers, quite well but this has me confused.
