POI and Office X (Mac OS X Jaguar)

[Dave Smith <ds...@vymac.com>]

Greetings,

My first attempt at generating an Excel file with POI opens just fine in
Excel 97
on Windows NT, but fails to open in Microsoft Office X on Mac OS X. In
fact, if crashes the entire Excel program. If I take the output from my POI
routine and save it as a different file using Office 97, the file size
increases markedly,
and this file is readable by Office X. So, am I missing something?

Any ideas? I'd like to spelunk the difference but I don't know enough yet to
do that. (And I'm not sure I want to know!)

My POI routine is here if anyone wants to comment on it:

Maybe I'm missing something required?

Thanks, and best regards,

Attach this to a bug as well as your xls file.  I'm quite curious.  I'm on
OSX and Office v.X and everything works just fine...
