Author Topic: Excel help Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-03-2015 09:11 PM                        quote: Carsten Kurz I noticec that EXCEL creates an html-file + folder structure when you have multiple sheets in your work book. Carsten I have a feeling you have nailed it. When I "rescued" the calendar file, I copied it back from the website to my computer, then loaded it in Excel, then saved it as a spreadsheet. I'm sure that the resulting saved spreadsheet includes the standard Excel 3-worksheets, and it's those extra sheets that are gumming up the works. Right now the computer I did the work on is shut down and I haven't yet reinstalled the older Excel on the one I'm using now (at the theatre) but I'd bet anything that's going to be the solution.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-01-2015 07:25 PM                        WEll -- good thing I didn't "bet anything" (as in the above post) because I did delete those extra sheets and the resulting files are the same. I tried the "sheet only" option but when I click "Save" it goes to the Publish dialog and gives me another error message about that directory not being available even though it's RIGHT THERE ON MY #&%*# COMPUTER. To add to this madness, I created an HTML calendar and that worked fine -- last month. This month, my FTP program refuses to upload the new version of THAT file. It just sits there and finally crashes and says "Unable to start transfer." Even though other files will transfer to the same server just fine. I've been on the phone with our help line and they are stumped. I'm beginning to wonder if I've died and gone to hell, or something.  |  IP: Logged Mike Frese Master Film Handler Posts: 465 From: Holts Summit, MO Registered: Jun 2007 posted 12-01-2015 08:04 PM                        Why not convert to a google doc? Very easy to do.  |  IP: Logged Doug Mercille Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Columbia, IL, usa Registered: Jun 2013 posted 12-24-2015 06:36 AM                        Not sure if you figured this out or not but have you tried to publish the file instead of saving.  |  IP: Logged
