Hi all
I am trying to connect to excel, when I click browse, the three Betangel spreadsheets come up but they don`t have .xls on the end of any, so when I click on them nothing happens, If I open one I get an excel spreadsheet with (read only) on the top. Can you help??

They do have .xls on the end of them. It's just that your Windows setup is hiding them. You can change this in Windows explorer folder option by un-checking the 'Hide filename extensions for known file types' option.

However you say 'nothing happens' then you say you managed to open one?

If you are trying to open in Bet Angel you need to click on the file name, click 'Open' in the dialogue box then click on 'Open Workbook' once it returns you back to Bet Angel.

You will get 'read only' as the templates are located in the Program Files directory which default windows settings does not allow you to save to.

Re-save the template in your documents folder.
