When a symbolic link (SYLK) file containing a macro is opened by Excel 97 or Excel 2000, the user is not warned that a macro will be executed upon opening the file (as is customary when Excel opens other spreedsheet files containing macros.) SYLK files are basic ascii files that can be read by a variety of applications, including word processors and other spreadsheet applications. SYLK files can be created using the "Save As" function in Microsoft Excel.
