Michael, It is a chart embedded in a worksheet. I rebuilt the entire template from scratch - copying cell by cell (if I copied an entire worksheet I would experience the crashing behavior. Even if I removed the sheet from the workbook after copying it, the crashing behavior would still exist). So far so good. I just have to update the page layouts for printing. If that works then I should be good to go. I still don't know what was causing the thing to crash though.

I think POI does not deal well with ChartSheets (only Worksheets, and maybe MacroSheets). ChartSheets and DialogSheets don't have rows or columns or Index or DbCell records, and HSSF mangles these by putting those records into the workbook stream. If it is a ChartSheet, try embedding the chart on a Worksheet. -----Original Message----- From: Veit, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 9:27 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Problems with 2.0, 2.5 I have a couple of issues: I am copying an excel file and then modifying it. It contains images and charts/graphs. POI 2.0 - copies & modifies fine but upon save in Excel it crashes. POI 2.5 - just copying w/o modifying - can't open in Excel - "unable to read file" message. It seems to be the chart page - when removed everything is ok, but unfortunately I can't leave that off the spreadsheet. I've tried saving the original file (the one being copied) as different xls formats, with the same results. I think the copying of images and graphs is supported in POI.
