I have just received an Email with an Attachment. It has xls. at the end of it. When I try to open it ,it says, Select a Programme to open it with. Any thoughts on which Programme to use? Many Thanks.

As Clairey-s states, xls is the file extension used by Excel spreadsheets. If you've not got Excel on your PC, you'll need the Excel Viewer. (If the spreadsheet was produced in Excel 2007, you might also need the Compatibility Pack). See here:

PS: Definitely don't open the file unless it's from a trusted source.

Thank you,both for your quick replies. The Email is from a friend of mine where I used to work.

Aagh! AB's done it again! (i've repeatedly complained about the censorship system deleting parts of links. It's spotted the letters y, i & d, in order, and thinks I'm being anti-semitic!).

To get the link to work, right-click on the following and select 'Copy'. Right-click in your browser's address bar and select 'Paste'. Then remove 'RUBBISH' before clicking 'Go':
