When you attempt to insert a Symbolic Link (SYLK) file into Microsoft Graph
97 or Graph 98, the process fails without any error message.
CAUSE
Microsoft Graph supports text files, Microsoft Excel worksheet files,
and Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet files. Microsoft Graph cannot import
SYLK formatted files.
WORKAROUND
Open the SYLK file in Microsoft Excel and save the file in the Excel
Workbook (.xls) format. You can now insert the file into Microsoft Graph.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Graph Help incorrectly states that you can import data from a
.slk file into Graph.
