I'm stumped. I have a script that opens a spreadsheet,
modifies some values, and saves the new version.
The code looks like this:
(PASTE)
# open Excel file
my $Book = $Excel-Workbooks-Open($dest_xls);
my $sheet = $Book-Worksheets(1);

I've never used any of the OLE stuff. I've always used
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and ::ReadExcel.

Perhaps you can call unlink() before saving the file. Or copy the file
locally, modify the local copy, and then copy it back to the shared drive.

As for the
A file named VOPU.xls already exists in this location.
Do you want to replace it?
Yes/No/Cancel.
As for the why part, I couldn't say.
SAMBA is straddling a cultural divide. Oddities like this are to be
expected.
When it's open from the Unix drive, Excel apparently can't tell that
it's

I believe this came up months ago when I was writing
the script in the first place. I need to be able to
open a spreadsheet that has values already in it,
change -some- of those

is there a $Book-Save(-force=true) kind of option?
maybe it's just confused as to whether it can overwrite
