Can't read excel file

Hi,

 

I have a problem to read a special file with Jakarta POI and I want to ask a
developer. I can open this file in MS Excel. And Excel tells me, that this
file is saved in the format of Excel 2003. But if I try to read this file
with POI, it results to the error-message:

 

Invalid header signature; read 4503599627765769, expected
-2226271756974174256

 

Can anyone help me? Maybe it helps, if I send you this special file?

 

Kind regards
