Hi,
i'm trying to saving a file in compatibility with Excel97.
I have setted the version property as xvExcel97 but if i save the file with the extension .xls it seems corrupted and i can't open it.
If i save it with .xlsx as extension, everything works fine but, it's not the correct extension for excel 97.
what can i do?
Thanks.
Andrea

also reading from .xls files gives errors!

Hello

I need more details in order to check this, such as the xls file that causes the problem.

This is an example of a file that i can't read

Hello

The file is invalid. You can't even open it with Excel.

i'm sorry!
that was the file i've exported with xvExcel97 as .xls and infact it's corrupted (to open it you should manually change its extension from .xls to .xlsx).
Let's put some order:
- www.mediafire.com/?9hi61y15r6d7fsq :bad file exported as xvExcel97 .xls
- www.mediafire.com/?lu6gizr9ikcgesi :file .xls that i can't read.
thanks!

Hello

1. How did you create the first file?

2. What error message did you receive when you tried to read the second file?

hi,
first of all, i've to say that i'm using code written for XLSRedWriteII4.
With the previous version everything was ok, now i've performed some changes to the code to make it compatible with the new version but i have these problems.
about your questions:
1. The first file was created with XLSRedWriteII with the property xvExcel97. I'm trying to save it as .xls, therefore i set the filename property as aaa.xls. When you write it everything seems ok and the program doesn't give me any error. But I can not open the file generated unless i manually change the extension from .xls to .xlsx. If i do so the file opens correctly and i find all my datas.
2. The problems seems to be the lastrow property that is always -1 in xvExcel97 when reading an .xls file. That makes my program raise some errors.
