I purchased an upgrade edition of Excel 97 (back in 1998)
as I was an existing user of Lotus 123 at the time.

I have now (six years later), purchased a new computer
however cannot re-install Excel 97 as my Lotus 123
software is long gone (Excel 97 is looking for "eligible
software" on system to complete the Excel installation).

Any ideas what I can do!!!!!!

Thanks
 
I believe you will now have to purchase a full version of XL97 (on EBay or
other source), as MS no longer supports XL97 nor recognizes it for upgrades
from competing products.

Alternatively, you could purchased a full NEWER version either new or from a
source as suggested above. The reason is that even should you install XL97,
MS would not allow it as a qualifying product for upgrade for later
versions.

There may be other, better suggestions offered for your consideration if you
check back here.
 
Thanks for the advise...I strongly suspected this would be the case.
