I thought we "use to" be able to "attach" HTML's...? How about a small Excel spreadsheet... like XLS? /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

John,

I've done that in a "roundabout" sort of way. I did an Excel spreadsheet, then used excel's "save as" to save the spreadsheet as html. I attached this to a message, and the html view is close enough to the original spreadsheet as to not be noticeable.

Hi Bill,

That's exactly what I did... saved an Excel chart as a "html"... I thought I've done it before... is it possible Muhammad forgot/dropped the "html" in this new TBN version currently running...? /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Test xls to html conversion...
trying to attach an xxx.html file produces this error message:

We cannot proceed.

We encountered a problem. The reason reported was:

The files you may upload must have the following extension: .zip,.txt,.gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.bmp,.wav,.mp3,.mpeg,.mpg,.avi,.pdf,.png



{I don't see any html or xls extension listed...}
