Read fails on files created by SAP
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 6:37 pm
Greetings,
I am trying to read an Excel file created from SAP (ECC 5.0). The file opens fine with Excel 2003. But when I try to open it with XLSReadII I get the error
Error on reading record # 0, FEFF Offs 00000004
Bad record in file.
I see the problem is related to the high bit being set in the Record ID (XLSReadII2, line 252), but I can't really go any further with this.
I tried the same file using my old XLSRead 1.36 and it didn't think the file is an Excel file - I didn't step into it to say where that problem was, as I would prefer to use the newer technology.
Please help,
Thanks,
Bob Green
