• When you open a workbook that has an Excel 4.0 format in Office Excel 2007, you find that the chart is displayed incorrectly. This issue occurs when the data resource for a chart of the workbook is in another .dat file.
  
  

• On a computer that is running Windows 7, you may receive the following message when you save an Office Excel 2007 workbook:
  

  Your changes could not be saved to 'FileName' because of a sharing violation. Try saving to a different file.
