Hi Nick,

Good idea.  I ran the validator on the els file and it fails.  Not sure I 
understand all the details, though!  Here’s the output:


<BFFValidation path="z:\Downloads\file.xls" datetime="08/01/14 16:58:33" 
result="FAILED">

That's normally quite a standard record

Can you try running the file format validator against it? See
http://poi.apache.org/faq.html#faq-N10152<http://poi.apache.org/faq.html#faq-N10152>
 for details
