(copied to Bill & Ric)
I suspect Bill Lam and/or Ric Sherlock are the people are the people to
ask here, and but I'll ask the forum as a whole anyway:
I've just acquired a new laptop and am enjoying learning 64-bit Windows
8. I'm loth to pay big pounds for Office 2010 or whatever. My 32-bit
Windows 7 still supported my old Office 2003 but that doesn't run in Win
8. I've downloaded Open Office which seems to be well thought of as an
alternative to M/S Office.
I wonder how to continue do the following, which worked under Windows 7
I have a multi-worksheet xls file.
My J application successfully reads one small named worksheet, not the
first, using readexcel .
It uses that information and wished to modify the contents of that
worksheet ONLY.
Under Windows 7 it successfully called wdoowrite to do this.
However, I find the workbook is not updated on the new machine.
I had used wdoowrite rather than writexlsheets as it appears that the
latter overwrites the whole file, but I might have misunderstood it.
It looks as if writeshtdat might do the job, but I'm not sure what
locale info to offer as the x argument.
Advice would be welcome!
Thanks
Mike
