The .xls file that cannot be opened by XL (6.50 KB, application/msexcel)

This file, almost identical to the previous one, can be opened. Note however that the hex2dec function is not properly imported into XL. (should be hexdec in XL) (6.50 KB, application/msexcel)

Description Frederic Parrenin 2004-01-07 17:19:26 UTC 
Another one...
It contains the hex2dec function, I don't know if it is related.
The error in XL is the same than for bug 128524.

hmm, gnumeric has problems opening too.

It relates to the use of functions that are addins in XL.
I could have sworn I had tested this dozens of times.

This  must be fixed before 1.2.5

Stupid cut-n-paste error add in 1.2.2.
Fixed in both branches.
