MS Works/QuatroPro FIles

My factory installed version of windows XP contained a MS works program entitled QuatroPro for creating spreadsheets. I recently reformatted my hard drive and reloaded the Dell provided XP program which apparantly does not provide for recapture of the MS Works program. Now I cannot open my QuatroPro files contaiing file extension "QPW.exe" Anyone else experience this frustration and perhaps found a solution?

    Quatro Pro is NOT part of MS Works.  It's not even a Microsoft application.  I think Quatro is now part of Corel.

    Fireberd is correct. You will need Word Perfect Office to open Quattro Pro files.

    You're right. Quattro Pro is the spreadsheet program in Corel's WordPerfect Suite.

    Edit: Oops. I answered before I got all the way down the list and saw that several people already had. Sorry about that. It's late.

    You could try using Microsoft Excel - it is supposed to be able to open Quattro Pro files but the word is that some formulas might need to be re-written
