Thanks, I see an area where I can enter this but it sounds like I might be overriding all the other ones that it uploads,,, sorry to be a pain, I am a novice here

There are several steps:

a) You need to tell VBulletin how to recognise excel and visio files. You do this by going to VB/admincp/attachments and adding the file type and 'mimetype information':

File type - xls
Mimetype - Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel

File type - vsd (?? - I don't use visio)
Mimetype - application/vnd.visio

b) Then you enable uploads in LDM. 1) You need to tell LDM where it can store the uploads, e.g. create a directory called "ldm-uploads" on your site, give the web server write access to the directory (in unix, this requires permissions 777), and then on the LDM admin page, enter /ldm-uploads as the upload directory and enable uploads.

c) then everything should work
