Sure, having the actual file that produces this bug would be good. Please open a new bugzilla, and attach the file there. If you have a chance, could you also answer these questions: - Which application produced the file? - Does the file open OK in Excel? - If you re-save the file in Excel, does the POI bug still occur?
As it turns out record sid 0x00FF corresponds to ExtSSTRecord (Extended Shared String Table). POI reads this record, but seems to otherwise ignore its contents. Upon writing back to file, POI creates a new ExtSSTRecord, so from POI's perspective, it's probably OK to ignore garbage data found in this record. Before applying a fix though, it's a good idea to observe how Excel handles the same data. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
