[PATCH] xls import into MS Access 97 does not work





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-01-31 11:11 -------
Actually i just did a little test and I suspect the quickest way to resolve 
the original BUG is simply to not write the INDEX and DBCell records at all. 
The problem with Access not being able to import was due to the fact that HSSF 
originally didnt ignore INDEX records but it did ignore DBCELL records (INDEX 
records reference DBCell records, so the INDEX record would have been 
referencing an invalid location in the resultant excel file). I am 95% sure of 
this (I dont have Access, i only have Word at home here, so i can only do a 
mail merge. I suspect that both mail merge and Access import both use DDE, 
hence my confidence. I will check on this when i get back to work)

However assuming that i am correct, Do you want me to modify the previous 
patch to have a flag on Sheet (and exposed in HSSFSheet) that will turn the 
Writing of DBCell & INDEX records on/off?

Let me know..

Jason
