multiplan is expecting a SYLK file (Symbolic Link) to have as its first record, an ID record containing the following fields:

;Pname   = a string containging the name of the application which produced the 
	   document.

;N       = indictates origin and devince of the file and conatins a flag for
	   cell protection.

for more info see page 160 of the Multiplan manual.  If it says their is not an
ID record, its possible that helix wrote the file in the wrong format.  If your
file is not too big, you may be able to transfer it just using the clipboard.
