Unreadable Content Bug? XLSX vs BINARY files

T

Todd Garrison

Hello there,

I have a relatively simple document created by a .NET application in excel
that programmatically adds databars to the document. The application works
just fine and the databars are created without any issue at all.

The issue comes when I try to save the file. If I save the document as XLSX
and then attempt to open it, I get a message stating that excel has
discovered unreadable content. If I allow it to fix the file, my databars
are stripped from the document and the document opens successfully.

If however, I save the file as a binary XLS document, it can be opened and
edited without loss of the databars.

Is this a bug? How can it be reported? Are there any known workarounds
besides using the larger binary format?

T.
