Hi Ben. POI works on binary level for Excel 97 (working for up to 2000).
So you could test 2 things: 1. Can you open your files from the Mac with such a Windows Excel? What do you see when you choose "Save as"? 2. Can you save your files on the Mac with Excel97 format. If yes it's quite likely that you also can open them in that format. If that's successful then also POI should work for you as desired. Regards, Karl-Heinz.
