I created a file with Excel 2000.
I sent it for corections to someone using excel 97(98?). Now, I get the anoying message : "xxx should be open as read only xxxx". Why? How can I avoid such message?
thanks for your help

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Open the file as read-only. Hit File-Save as. Hit the options and remove the read-only.
