Transferring spreadsheet from XP to Vista

I tried to transfer a spread sheet from my old Dell with Xp tomy new Dell
with Vista(microsoft works). When I try to open up the spreadsheet it says
that path does not exist(tries to open inworks 6.0 xlr. Could it be that I
cannot transfer to Vista? Or is there something that I am doing wrong?

Your new Dell probably has Works 8. It probably has to open the file from
the File menu item for Works 6 files.

I tried to open via Works 6 but it did not work.

As long as you are using compatible versions of works you should be able to
open them up. I routinely open excel/word files that are on my XP machine
with vista. And vice versa. Both machines have office 2003 installed.

When you try and open the file on the other machine, browse to the other
machine instead of relying on an entry in the file screen. It sounds like
the location of the file has changed from the last time you opened it.

Did you use Marks suggestion and open a blank sreadsheer in Works then
import the old spreadsheet.
