Not to change the work you've already done, but what about using a CSV file instead? That should be independent of Excel version since it's just plain text seperated by commas, yet easily opened by any version of Excel. Excel adds all kinds of special characters (for formatting, controls, etc) in the file when saved as XLS, which may (and apparently does) change based on the version. Just an idea...
