Hi there, I am using POI 3.2-Final.
Here is the problem : I am getting an xsl file from some URL. If I open this file with excel directly from web, or save it to disk and then open it - Excel throws an error that this file is not of excel type and asks me "abort or continue". Pressing continue - excel open the file and everything is perfect and the file is displayed correctly. There is probably some invalid header of this file, but forcing Excel to ignore it - solves the problem. Now, I want the same behavior when I using POI. Currently POI throws an exception, that invalid header signature is present. Is there a way ( without recompile POI ) to force him to continue even if the header signature wrong? After all, the file is of excel type. Thanks, Gil. This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
