http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31441 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-09-21 18:09 ------- I just encountered this issue today, and after reading the previous contributions, I think they're right. I tried using HSSF on two spreadsheets: one I created in Excel, the other I downloaded from the web. The one I downloaded was getting this error. After reading this issue, I opened them in Notepad. The spreadsheet I created began with this (binary?) stuff: ÐÏࡱá The spreadsheet from the web started with this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>A Spreadsheet</TITLE></HEAD> So, even though it had a .xls extension, it was just an HTML table. Inside Excel, I copied the spreadsheet into a new sheet, and it worked. Now, this is my first contribution to the bug database, so I don't want to change the status, but this seems like expected behavior to me. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
