Hi, We are able to generate BIG files as big as 5 MB. Most of the time, It works correctly. Here is few suggestions , to check in the excel file.
1. Remove Comments from Cells 2. Remove AutoShapes in excel file 3. Replace Buttons(Form Toolbar) with Macro to Command Buttons(Control Toolbox) without macro 4. Sometimes, few NAMES give errors. So remove all the NAMES in excel. After trying this things in your excel, regenerate excel with POI . You should be able to open the generated file correctly.

The file has 20 columns and many rows. This works fine, I don't have any problem to generate the file. My problem is, if the generated file is big (e.g. 1,4MB), Excel can not read it, giving the error dialog box: unable to read file. If the file ist smaller (e.g. 1MB), Excel can read it without problem. (I try to read the file both in Excel 97 and Excel 2000) Can anybody tell me why excel can not read the generated file? Thanks for any help, Liyu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
