hello Josh,
you find the attached document that I try to load (input.xls) create on
MSExcel 2003, and the result file (outout 2.xls) and read on MSExcel 2003.
I do not know how to verify the spreadsheet formats

http://www.nabble.com/file/p21746193/outout%2B2%2B.xls outout+2+.xls
Thank you for your reply.
