Thanks for your reply, Jason. I guess I was a little surprised to see excel
complain about it as well.
What I'm going it pretty basic, really.
HSSFWorkbook Workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet Worksheet = Workbook.createSheet("Sheet1");
...
Then I iterate to create the rows and columns.The only non-straightfoward piece is that I'm not writing it out to the filesystem - I'm attaching it as a mime attachment to an email. I'm using MS-Excel 2002/XP (SP2), so it might be a behaviour unique that product version or something. I guess the reason I didn't consider that it might be a bug, is that it's sort of acting the way I would expect. I'm not attaching any PropertySets to the document (hpsf.DocumentSummaryInformation or otherwise), so ms-excel wouldn't find them. The only way to create these PropertySets appears to be using the Mutable classes, but I'm still pretty new to POI, so I could be missing something. I'll attach the .xls and a screenshot of the error thrown by ms-excel. I'd be curious to know if other people have the same issue.

Sounds like a bug to me. Perhaps provide a little detail about how you are writing the HSSF spreadsheet. Jason -----Original Message----- From: Ling, Curtis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 30 April 2004 2:25 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: HPSF Mutables Hello. I'm using POI to export ms-excel compatible spreadsheets. When I open the spreadsheets using ms-excel, I get a "Lost document summary information" error, which I'm attributing to the lack of a PropertySet in the document. I'm following the example in the fourth section of the "HPSF HOW-TO", which details how to write Properties using MutablePropertySet, MutableSection and MutableProperty; but these classes are not present in the v2.5 final release of POI. I see that they are part of the CVS Source Tree, so I was wondering if there was a binary (.jar) somewhere which included these classes, or if it would be possible for someone to share theirs with me. Sorry to be a pest.
