Default Import to Outlook 2003 from Excel 2003 - Translation Error

When trying to import a spreadsheet from Excel 2003 that was saved as
the default Microsoft Office Exel Workbook (*.xls), I get this error:

Translation Error
An error has occurred in the Microsoft Excel translator while getting
the contents of a file system.
Outlook was unable to retrieve the data from the file
"C:\myfolder\myfile.xls". Verify that you have the correct file, that
you have permission to open it, and that it is not open in another
program.

I have the correct file, I have sufficient permissions and it isn't
open in another application.

If I take the same spreadsheet, and save it in dual format - Microsoft
Excel 97 - Excel 2003 & 5.0/95 Workbook, I can import to Outlook with
no error.

Is there any way to get Outlook 2003 to import Excel 2003 data in it's
native format or do I have to go through the save as process with each
file?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!
