Opening Excel XP using Forms Controls in Mac OS 9

I tried your #2 solution of re-allocating memory, and I
was able to successfully open the Excel file in 98/OS 9.

The memory is now set to:
Preferred Size: 90000 K
and I left the
Minimum Size at: 3072 K

However ...

When I tried saving I get the following:
"This file was created using a later version of MS Excel.
If you save this file using MS Excel 98, information
created with features in the later version may be lost.
_To retain the information in the original file, click No,
and use the Save As command (File menu) to save this file
with a different name.
_To continue with the Save, click Yes.
Continue with Save.

When I click Yes or No, and the file saves, I get the
message "The disk is full".

Should I allocate more memory to the Preferred Size? My
file over 1 megs.

Thanx for all your help in advance.
