XLS vs. XLSX

Kaneto · #1 11-24-2010, 11:41 PM

This sounds like a case of Excel's Extension Hardening, which was introduced in version 2007. Does the error message say that the file is in a different format than specified by the extension?

Some more info on Extension Hardening and how to disable it can be found here:

Hope this helps.
