Hi, We have a program here that reads records from a database and generates an excel spreadsheet using POI-HSSF. However, we found that after a certain number of records, Excel is unable to open the generated file. It just dies with error "Unable to read file" I'm not sure if it's the same, but there's a similar problem reported in http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.poi.user/month=20030701
Now, the weird thing is, the offending file can be opened using the latest version of Open Office. (Wow, it means OO is already better than Excel!) Excel 97 and 2000 cannot open the file at all. Excel 2002 attempts to repair the file. I'm not sure where to begin checking. I tried checking the ASF Bugzilla if it was a known problem, but the search screen doesn't see to be working for me ATM. (clicking Search does nothing) Does anyone have an idea? Regards, Roy -- Roy Tang for President in 2022 http://roytang.net/blog
