SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Excel, when you select a file from the File Name list in the Picture or Insert File dialog box, the filename that appears in the File Name box does not contain a period (.) if the file name does not have an extension. CAUSE
If you create a file with a file name that does not have an extension, such
as "TEST.", the file appears in the File Name list without the period. This
behavior is by design in Microsoft Excel. However, when you select the file
in the Picture, or the Insert File (in a module sheet) dialog box, the file
name that is displayed in the File Name box does not contain the period.
This problem does not occur in the Open dialog box. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in a later version of Microsoft Excel. Additional query words:
