I just installed Office 2007 and now I cannot import any data from Excel 2007. I have tried saving files in Excel 2003 format but it still does not work! Any help or suggestions? Thanks!!

Saving as Excel 2003 should fix it.
MapPoint 2006 predates Excel 2007 - so it doesn't know about the Office 2007 XML-based formats.

What is the error that you are seeing?

Richard,
Thanks, I tried saving in the old excel format then it will find it. But then when I export with PushPin Tool, I save the spreadsheet in old excel format then go to import back into a map it states that it cannot locate the file. But Office 2007 has many other issues besides this!! I think I will just re-install Office 2003 and search for solutions to their problems before I try to use '07 again. Thanks again for the help.

Pushpin Tool will be using the version of Office/Excel that you have installed. So it is probably creating an Excel 2007 file - Pushpin Tool predates Excel 2007 by a few years!

Thanks Richard!

Any idea if or when there will be new versions of MapPoint & PushPin Tools. I can do without Office 2007; but I can't do without MapPoint & PushPin Tools:laugh4:
