Thanks for all replies so far.  I didn't find anything in AppData.
I think I'd better reinstall J anyway - so far, I've been using the 32-bit version copied over from my old machine. So there might_ be some conflict with the newly installed (presumably 64-bit) Open Office!
FWIW, here's the version stuff:

JVERSION

Engine: j701/2011-02-23/15:25

Library: 8.01.012

Qt IDE: 1.0.11

Platform: Win 32 <<< inferred from J.exe type?

Installer: j801 beta install

InstallPath: d:/j801


I'll let you know of any developments after installing 64-bit J, if they're interesting.
Thanks again


Mike

wdooo is supposed to work for both 32 and 64 bit, if it doesn't then it's a 
bug. Please provide detail of your config and  procedure to reproduce the bug, 
thanks.

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
