Unable to open written spreadsheet in Excel, but can in Open Office

           Summary: Unable to open written spreadsheet in Excel, but can in
                    Open Office
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Overview Description: Using a template spreadsheet, I add data to the
spreadsheet, but am then unable to open it in Excel 97SR2: Dialogue box error
"unmable to read file" .  I can open it in OpenOffice 1.0.1.

Steps to Reproduce: small example program and template is attached

Detail:
I am attempting to read in a template file, add a bunch of data and then 
write it out to a new file.  This works fine under OpenOffice, I can open 
the generated file in sheet with no problems.  Using Excel though, I find 
that it will not open, giving the error dialogue box:
Unable to read file"

I'm using:
POI version 1.9.0-dev-2003-122
Excel  97Sr2
OpenOffice 1.0.1
Java - IBM SDK 1.3

The code I am running is adapted from the quick start developers pages:  I 
get the POIFSFileSystem from the template Excel xls file, grab the correct 
sheet in the workbook and write the data.  I then use the write method on 
HSSFWorkbook to write out the new POIFSFileSystem.

The template (input) spreadsheet has the following Entry objects in the 
POIFSFileSystem:
found Entry: Workbook
found Entry: DocumentSummaryInformation
found Entry: SummaryInformation
found Entry: CompObj
found Entry: _VBA_PROJECT_CUR

The output file has matching entries, so I am assuming that nothing is 
missing.

The Excel files are to be used as described here:
