Did you ever find an answer to this one??! running into the same problem myeself!
>We have been importing from Excel for months now without a problem. The client from which we receive the Excel files just upgraded to Office 2003. Now when we try to import the Excel files we receive from them, we get a bunch of garbage - nothing is really readable. If I open the same Excel file in my version of Excel - which is also Office 2003 - and just save the file, the import works fine. Anyone have any clues as to what's going on?
