Dear Kirk, Koen, Pat, Thanks for all replies.
I tried to open the file with an text editor, but I do not see any xml or html tags. It seems to be some strange MS headers, though later in the file I see the individual cell content that I expect. If I try to parse with Pluggers XL Plugin I can read and parse the file. So this can be a possible solution. I then tried to open with LibreOffice and it surprisingly worked all the way. Namely: Open the .xls file with LibreOffice, just save it as is, then open the file with 4D and the XLS II plugin and parse lines with commands of XLS II. I have no clue what causes this to happen or what LibreOffice does to the file. I just open the file and resave, confirming to use MS format excel 97-2003 in the save dialog. I suspected that v15R5, that I use since 1 month, could be the reason, but it wasn't. Something changed last week and files prior to that could be parsed also in v15, but files coming from last week and on can not be parsed unless I do the magic trick to -open and resave- with LibreOffice. Thanks for all replies.
