 Hi All

 When I try to create a new query in BO using an Excel spreadsheet, I
 get the following error message : "External table isn't in the
 expected format (3274)".

 Has any of you encoutered this problem before, and can you please tell
 me how you sorted this out?

 Thanks

The Excel spreadsheet has to be in Excel '95 format. BO 4.1 does not read
Excel '98 format. At least, that’s what caused our problems…
