Excel issue using Poi.jar
Hi All,
I'm receiving a message prompt "File Error: Data may have been lost"
when I try to open a excel file. This file is getting generated by a web
based application using poi.jar. The OS I'm trying to open the file is
Windows XP SP2. After clicking "OK" for the message prompt, cell values
in the excel is getting replaced by the value "1024". I found that one
of the Excel patch (Security Update for Excel 2003 (KB943985)v2: EXCEL)
released by Microsoft was giving this issue. When contacted Microsoft,
got a reply saying that poi.jar file has to be developed again by using
the latest excel patch released by Microsoft. Does anyone knows the
latest poi.jar file is available?
Thanks,
Jayantheeswaran S

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I was out to town for these number of days.
The current version of poi.jar file is 3.1
Our team is responsible for the application. When we contacted
Microsoft, new version of poi.jar file should include the patches
available with Microsoft. Do you have any idea when the next version
release and in the release if this Microsoft patch is included.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi -
You might look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952208 - which
apparently fixes trouble from KB943985
Do you know what version of POI is producing your file? You'll
probably need to talk to the person responsible for the web based
application - is that a private in house app?
Regards,
Dave
