--- Comment #2 from Steven <[email protected]> ---
Yeah, I thought that you'd ask me to send the file. Here's what I see as the
problem in doing that, and by the way I downloaded "OpenOffice" (sorry) and the
same problem happens - except that their cells actually show the "1899" date in
all the cells.
Okay problem ... even if I sanitize the data I would have to save the file and
doing so might influence the structure. Having left M$ years ago my only
current version of M$O is 2003 and knowing M$'s bent to isolate its products
like it has over the years from the Linux community makes me believe that this
is by design; especially since now having experienced the same problem in "OO".
Maybe the report should be closed but for information sake ... the bank
provides a "csv" in which the first column is the account number. In my talks
with the bank I asked if the xls is missing that column or is it not being
generated and they said ... Not included. Since the "csv" has no problems
importing I won't belabor the issue.
Last they (bank) had recently like most vendors moved to include a mobile
platform and a newer online presence and for my own edification have been
exploring and testing.
If I can get the bank to send me an almost blank file I will gladly forward
that to you; but the issue I see there is that my "xls" file is being generated
on the fly and that server version could be different from what a staff member
might generate to send to me.
Being that they're a "financial" institution their "3rd party" tools or web
subcontractors are " Not " under their control and my insistence to root to the
heart of this problem has caused them to look at me with some concern instead
of seizing the opportunity to make any corrections.
Close the case and if I find time to further this I will re-open a bug report.
Thanks
