MS Excell

I have a customers computer thats really messed up, I know that the best thing for it would be to reformat. This is a doctors computer and he has a lot of information that is illreplaceable. getting the info isn't the problem. The problem is that a programer compined MS Excell and a medical program (Doctor lost medical program and the program was too complicated for him to use) together to create the information that he uses. If i have to wipe the drive, that medical program and MS Excell program will no longer work together. If i back up the whole MS Excell program, will it work if i wipe the hd and after i install the MS Office program back in to the computer, along with all the data file's for his clients. I can burn and run the complete program off my computer but I can't change any or add to any information on my computer. Really could use some help with this one thank you.

I`m no expert on Excell but are you sure they havent made some sort of excell templete for office use?

Yes, look for .XLT files and macros - excel can also do some funky things with access as well - is access installed?

Yes! What the doc told me was that the Medical Program was just too complicated, they needed a simpler version, So a programer somehow uses Excell to operate.

Yes Access

Duhhhhhhh SOrry you all Acess is the program it was combined with. Thigs go me so flusteres LOL.
