Rebuild the files as csv files and they will open on the Iphone without any further intervention This is what we do.

The txt and xls files can be pened, but they are just text. Managers want to be able to read the files leanly. I am guessing the issue is that when a smart phone opens a true Excel file, it s not running Excel, but some sort of emulator. The emulator does not have all he bells and whistles that a full blown version of Excel has, thus undesirable esults.

I haven't checked, but are there any perl modules that can convert an XML file o an .xls file This would require unix, but not any user intervention. -----Original Message----- rom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] n Behalf Of Israel, John R. ent: Monday, February 06, 2012 4:40 PM o: 'U2 Users List' ubject: [U2] Building an Excel File We are running UniData on a UNIX platform. We create tab-delimited txt files and tab delimited txt files with xls extensions) all the time that users open ith Excel. Many of these jobs are run in the middle of the night or in a rigger program. In all cases, there is no direct user interaction building hese files. We also have some XML files that are coded so that Excel opens them with ormatting, colors, filters, etc. Unfortunately, our BB users and iPhone users can not open these files up in a eaningful way. Is there a way to build a TRUE Excel file without any user intervention from niData or UNIX?
