I downloaded a trial version, for DX11, and was testing the creation of the various Excel formats from a XLSGrid. While Excel97 and Excel2007 seem to work fine. I am getting a zero length file for Excel40 and Excel50. Am I doing something wrong?
XLSGrid.XLS.SaveToFile(FileName,xvExcel40);
XLSGrid.XLS.SaveToFile(FileName,xvExcel50);
Support for old formats.
Re: Support for old formats.
Hello
I have sent you two answers by email on this, but it seems they didn't reach you.
No. Support for writing Excel 4/5 files was dropped because nobody uses these formats in new code. The only time you see Excel 4/5 files is when they are exported by very old applications. Reading these files is supported.
If you really want to create Excel 4/5 files, this can be done with older versions of the component.
