I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Office 2003 Patch or October 2007
Recently installed Office 2003 patches. Now any spreadsheet created with Spreadsheet-WriteExcel gets a data error when trying to open: File error: data may have been lost. Removing and re-installing Office without the patch elimnates the problem. This also appears to be a problem with MicroSoft Excel Viewer 2003 also.

Re: Office 2003 Patch or October 2007

Hi,

I've had some other reports of that and I have verified it myself with Excel 2003. I haven't seen it with Excel Viewer 2003 though.

It doesn't happen with any of the example programs in the distro. However, one thing that seems to cause it is when you write data to a cell more than once. Can you see if you have any situations where this occurs in your program. If not can you see if you can isolate the problem down to the smallest possible program that causes this warning.

Also, can you post any follow-ups to the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Google-Group.

Thank you,

John.
