@shankar12,

Ultimately, you are wanting to use this command line tool:  excelcnv.exe

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\excelcnv.exe" -oice "C:\in\MyFile.xls" "C:\out\MyFile.xlsx”

If this is a one-time need, just run something like this from your cmd window.  Otherwise, you can befriend the Run Command tool or use an Event to run this task.

Cheers,

Mark

I am trying to make this solution work through the run command tool for all files in a folder and I cant seem to make it work.

Command : 

for %F in (*.xls) do "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\excelcnv.exe" -nme -oice "%~fF" "%~fF"x
