We are having problems trying to transfer spreadsheet information between
VP Planner and the Microsoft Works product. It seems things go into Works
fine, but when they come back out, VP Planner has troubles. 1-2-3 works
fine in both directions with Works. Does anyone have a method of transfering
files between Works and VP Planner reliably in both directions?
Thanks in advance!

I have found that many programs that import data from Lotus R1A .WKS files choke on MS WORKS .WKS files. I believe this has to do with the extra features WORKS includes like fonts, and 8 charts per spreadsheet. Lotus can usually read them fine though. I would try deleting all charts and resetting all printer attributes to defaults. Then save the file, reopen it and resave it just to make sure it is clean. If VP Planner still won't read it, you could probably read it into and then back out of Lotus to really clean it up. This is probably not the kind of transfer you had in mind though.
