Excel 2007 Beta 2 thinks our Excel 2003 workbooks are corrupted
Our product automates Excel 2003 to create workbooks. Each workbook contains
a signed macro and a pivot table. Our customers are beginning to test our workbooks using Excel 2007. When a customer opens one of our generated workbooks using Excel 2007, then Excel 2007 reports that the workbook is corrupted and it offers to try to fix the problem. After the workbook is fixed, our customer can open the workbook. However, Excel then reports that the workbook has been modified since having been signed. So the macro (which is critical) cannot run unless the user turns off macro security entirely. Our product also creates some workbooks that include macros but do not include pivot tables. In that case Excel 2007 does not report a corruption problem. But it does report that the workbook has been modified -- and the user still must turn off macro security to allow the macros to run. The fact that Excel 2007 thinks that the Excel 2003 file is corrupted seems like an Excel 2007 bug. I would appreciate any assistance in determining a workaround. The fact that Excel 2007 won't run our signed macros with macro security turned on is also a major problem for us. Thanks! Larry |

Excel 2007 Beta 2 thinks our Excel 2003 workbooks are corrupted
Hi Larry,
Can you send me an example file that hasn't been fixed yet by Excel 2007? I'll take it up with Microsoft to see what's going on here. You can get my email address from my website.

Excel 2007 Beta 2 thinks our Excel 2003 workbooks are corrupted
Hi Larry
I have had some problems with signed workbooks between before, when, and only when, two Excel versions were up and running simoultaneously. The last crash was so damaging that I promised myself "never to sign anything again" and never use version 2003 for anything but playing and testing. So maybe this is a more general problem than a 2007 bug. (And at least your files don't get totally corrupted, so I'd say 2007 is a huge improvement ;-) Best wishes Harald "lkrakauer" skrev i melding ...
