Hi,
I have an old spreadsheet in ODS format. The file was originally an XLS
file then converted to ODS format several years ago *and* has been used
weekly over that period without any problems.
Since the days of OpenOffice.org 1.0 I use the same dBase file together
with Calc data pilots as reporting engine.
I'm pretty sure that this file will take another 50,000 records during
the next 10 years without any problems.
Spreadsheets are the worst data storage, regardless if Excel, ODF or
whatever. Even a collection of plain text tables is far better than
spreadsheets.
