Question

I am using Excel 2007 interop assembly to automate Excel through c#. Interop version is 12.0. When I try to save a file, it can be saved only in 2003 format, but thats fine

Answer 1

Try instead workbook.CheckCompatibility = false;

I used the following in bold to make it skip the compatibility issue.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= filepath or filename .xls" _ , FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
