I am having trouble getting a Microsoft Excel file to work on my Axim X5. I have a spreadsheet that I use at work that I would like to download to my Axim X5 because I no longer have access to the spreadsheet at work. I was able to email the spreadsheet to myself to my home computer, but when I put the file in my Pocket PC My Documents folder and transfer it to my Axim it will not open. The file shows up as an Excel file, but when I try to open it with my Axim it gives the message " an error occured while opening". Any ideas on how I can get this to transfer? I do not have Excel on my computer at home, only Microsoft works, but the file is in .xls format before I send it to my Pocket PC Docs folder. I have tried adjusting settings in Activesync but still cannot get it to work. Thanks in advance for any help.
Jason.
