This has caused a lot of grief for guys who downloaded the file and weren't able to open it afterward. If you downloaded the calculator with IE, just change the file extension from .zip to .xlsx (for Excel 2007) or .xls (for earlier versions), and you should be good to go.

I've tested the calculators in MS Office 2007, but not in earlier versions. For any version, Excel will automatically disable the macros that are behind the graphing functions, so you'll have to tell it to "Enable Active Content" or "Allow Macros". In 2007, allowing active content is easy--there will be a yellow bar at the top of the screen (usually just below the formula bar) that will tell you that the macros have been disabled. Click that and the click "Allow" or "Enable", and you should be rolling. If you're trying this on a Mac, I don't think it'll work at all for you. I tried the R44 calculator on my wife's Mac and most of the functions didn't work properly. Please let me know if you get it working or not...I've had several users report problems but not follow through with troubleshooting. Just makes it harder for me to help others like yourself!

How you do anything with that I can't imagine. Sorry, I don’t know anything about Macs except that my wife’s mouse only has one button. How you do anything with that I can’t imagine.

The file should download ready-to-use as an MS Excel file (.xls or .xlsm). Although I haven't tried it, the calculator should work in versions of MS Excel up to 2007. I'll send the calculator as an attachment directly to you so you can try again. Since the calculator uses macros for the charting functions, you do need to enable active content once you get it open for it to work properly. MS Excel will usually ask you if you want to do this, or it will tell you that Active Content has been disabled. Hi Jeff,
