PXT File Complications


Common PXT Opening Problems

Missing Microsoft Excel Mobile

If you attempt to load your PXT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PXT Files". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Excel Mobile is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the PXT file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: Another PXT-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Excel Mobile

In other instances, your Microsoft Pocket Excel Template file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Excel Mobile. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Excel Mobile (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Pocket Excel Template file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Excel Mobile than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: If you right-click on your PXT file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of PXT file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Excel Mobile version installed.
