Title: Hotmail account
Post by: seanmc on December 29, 2007, 02:00:30 PM: When I receive excel attachments in my hotmail account the worksheets will not display the data. Any ideas?

How are you viewing them?
These worksheets are from someone you know?
Which version of Excel do you have? And which version do they have?

Heh, it's actually quite a valid question. I've seen plenty of people asking for help with burning CD's, only to find out that they don't even have a burner.

Are you trying to open it from the browser or downloading it to your computer then opening it?

I've heard of problems with Word documents not opening right for some people unless they actually download and save the file from Hotmail. Excel might have the same issue. Try saving the file to your computer first, then opening it.
