Excel 2003 Save as Bug
All:
Has anyone run into this situation. I create data upload files and for some instances have cells that have about 1500-2000 characters (outputed memo records from a foxpro database). These files are then imported by my clients into their systems. The problem that I recently came across is when the data is written to the cell, it is all there when I view the sheet. When I save in Excel 2003, close and then re-open the spreadsheet, the cell(s) with the large data (say cell C13) is duplicated and overwrites the data in another cell 2 rows down (say cell C15). If I do this same procedure in Excel 2000 or XP, it is fine. Has anyone else come across this, or might know what I need to look at. I came up with a small fix. WHen I write the large data I enclose the data with Full quotes and then when I save I am ok when I re-open the spreadsheet. I have heard about the old Alt-Tab when writing data to excel, but this should not matter if I use a 2000/XP excel client and it works fine. What did Uncle Bill change in 2003 excel I wonder. Thanks for any help or thoughts. If I could post screenshots I would to show you all what I am talking about. Thanks Art |
