Thanks for the reply dimesio! I done as you said, with wine 1.1.4 I installed no probs and didn't do any overrides. The same thing is happening though, here is the console output when I try to save an existing xls file. Code: fixme:ole:OleQueryLinkFromData (0x15eba8),stub! fixme:hook:IsWinEventHookInstalled (32778)-stub! fixme:hook:IsWinEventHookInstalled (32778)-stub! fixme:storage:StgCreateStorageEx Stub: calling StgCreateDocfile, but ignoring pStgOptions and grfAttrs fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Storage share mode not implemented. fixme:storage:StorageImpl_CopyTo Exclude option not implemented fixme:hook:IsWinEventHookInstalled (32782)-stub! Thanks again for your help!
