Sources of XLR Problems


Frequent XLR Opening Issues

Microsoft Excel Not Present

When trying to open your XLR file, you get the error "Can't Open XLR File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Excel installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your XLR file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Excel installed, and you know of another program to open your XLR file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Wrong Version of Microsoft Excel is Installed

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Excel isn't able to open your Microsoft Works Spreadsheet file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Microsoft Excel version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Microsoft Works Spreadsheet file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Excel than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your XLR, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Excel version on your computer can cause problems opening XLR files.
