i just added a class PhoneticRecord to the autofilter issue on poi bugzilla http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35125 this record is far away from your actual battle fields, of course. since the phonetic record seems to be written mistakenly by genuine excel applications (as described on website posted above) it can be safely suppressed during deserialization. but if (only) added to biffviewer it helps at least to get a better point of view about whats going on inside an excel file (meaning: one more record which can be identified safely and so does not appear as unknown record). maybe you can use this code snippet. i also started examining the cell comment issue since it seems to be highest rated and in my todo list on nearly same level than autofilter is. after some dump-inspections i argue to be in need for further documentation as i'am in the case of the autofilter implementation. so if someone could point me wether the excel developers kit is able to give me more detailed insight i could go on faster. > > thanks in advance and a nice evening > andreas p.s. sorry for my english, yoda my teacher was ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta POI Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
