In Excel I usually "save as" a *.csv file that I then import into S-Plus. Because there is no preset filter in the file type list for *.csv you have to use the *.* filter.

Subject: [S] Importing data from Excel spreadsheets

Is anyone else having a problem importing from spreadsheets? I am running S-PLUS v4.0 release 2 and Excel 97 under Windows NT v4 service pack 3. I can read data from a spreadsheet but if I then try to open it again in Excel, Excel just hangs. (I usually close Excel before importing data.)
 
The only way round the problem seems to be to quit S-PLUS before starting Excel again. This is a bit tedious!
