Does anyone know about excel 2003 error problems pls?

Excel isn't saving my course work and keep getting an error message when trying to save work etc, here it is

julyincome.cvs may contain features that are not compatible with CSV (comma delimited) do you want to keep the work book in this format?
Click yes to keep this format and leave out any incompatible features,
To preserve the features the features click no, then save a copy in the latest excel format.

Does anyone know what this means please? lost a whole days work.

Thanks in advance.
Michelle.

    csv isn't excel it is just the unformatted data, you can import into most spreadsheets, save it as a .xls and you will save the formats and not get the message.

    On the 'save as' there's a drop-down for 'save as type' (or similar), you just need to select the .xls from the list
