Getting "file cannot be found in excel 2007 & 2010

I have a vba program I wrote in excel 2003 that has the user select which excel spreadsheet they want to open and then opens it for them. This works fine in excel 2000 & 2003. When I try it in excel 2007 or 2010 I get " '\\win2kb\d\queries\excel files\QuoteConverter' cannot be found. Check your spelling or try a different path."

The code that opens the spreadsheet is attached. It doesn't matter which I try, I get the same error message. Is there a new way of opening files in vba with 2007 & 2010?

strFilePath = "\\win2kb\d\queries\excel files\"

        Select Case lstQueryList.ListIndex
           Case 0
              '  strSelectString = "SOwNoMRP"
               strFilePath = strFilePath & "Open SO with No MRP.xls"
               frmMain.Hide
               Workbooks.Open (strFilePath)
               Workbooks("Query Launcher.xls").Close savechanges:=False
           Case 1

               strFilePath = strFilePath & "Part Availability"

Do the files still have the .xls extension or where they saved as Excel 2007 and have a .xlsx extension?

That worked. Apparently the older excel defaulted to .xls as it works fine with 2000 & 2003.
Thanks.
