I have the latest version of excel 16.42 (20101102) but I cant open a file with macros. I accept the macros, ignore links and get an error message that says this workbook content that isnt supported in this version. I have copied a further error message below. How do I fix this? Is it a problem with my verion of excel or a problem in the BBA coding?
