Example file uploaded - the file was created in Excel. Upon opening in OO
everything displayed fine, I changed the combo value and it populated the
destination cell. Clicked Save (told it to leave in Excel format) and then the
file is reported by Excel 2003 SP3 as corrupt and if you tell Excel to open the
file anyway it strips all formatting and loses the combo box.
The give a bit of background (if you're interested) we have a template we send
out to people for them to fill in (on which there are 2 combos), we found that a
lot of people don't have Excel on their PCs so we recommended they downloaded
and installed OO which most have done. They open the xls, set the details then
send it back to us. We have an automated system that imports the data which has
been working fine until recently (seems to be a Microsoft update/SP because the
files can be opened fine in Excel 2003 without SP, or with SP1 or SP2)
