Who would have thunk?
From memory, it does back to Excel 3.0. That's the version that made the biggest impact back about 10 years ago with Windows 3.1.
Excel 2.1 (from memory) was for the Windows 286 version. Now when did that come out?

I have a file that was saved in Excel 2.1 format. OpenOffice was unable to open the file. If I open it in Excel and update it to the current Excel format, OpenOffice can open it. I was wondering whether you know what the earliest version of Excel is that can be opened by OpenOffice?
My company has a web-based application and Excel is one of the output formats we offer. I have no idea why version 2.1 was used by our developers but I want to try to get it changed to a newer version, but not so new that it will adversely impact users who don't have the latest version of Excel.
