There isn't a normal association for this file type. .PRN files contain
printer output data sent to a file instead of a printer and are printer
specific. Their use is designed around the idea that you want to print
something to a type of printer not physically installed on the computer
you're using. To do this, you install the driver for the type printer
you'll be using, send the output to a file, and then later copy the file to
this type of printer using the Windows COPY command or something similar.
As such, there isn't a specific application associated with them.

In this scenario, the original file is not removed quickly enough from the network share folder when Excel tries to replace the original file with your changed file. Therefore, you cannot save the replacement file by using the original file name. Whe jessie_jacobs@trekbikes.com Mac Office Excel 0 12-18-2006 07:03 PM
