Tech support?
I am trying to attach an Excel spreadsheet to a new post and I get the following error message "ModelRR-ORG-Directory.xlsx:
Invalid File"
Anyone know how I can get this fixed?
Thanks,
Tim

I can't do that because the spreadsheet is 6 pages long!
The spreadsheet contains a matrix of 30 model RR organizations (including manufacturers, retailers, publishers, etc).

zip it up ... zips are okay, i -think- .xls is not ..

Administration has to add the type of file attachment allowed to be uploaded from their control panel.

When you go to add an attachment, there is an Attachment Key at the bottom of the pop-up window. All the supported file types are listed. At present .xls, or its variants, are not supported.

Just put it in a ZIP file. Any "executable" file is normally filtered.

Please, just one thread on a single issue, this one obviously belongs in the support forum where I moved it.

Take a screen shot and crop with paint. All you need is an image to post.

Then do six pictures. Divide it up or place it in a shared file like goggle and leave a link.

Actually, uploading a ZIP file is much better, it makes it searchable. You can also print it to a PDF file, that will be a single file, much smaller than graphic files, and if you print it, you get a much higher quality printout.
