Parse error information

[J Burford Fields]

I want to post this to help anyone else who runs into a similar
problem.

We frequently move PWA Resource views to Excel with the Export Grid to
Excel link. However, because of security, active-X is disabled.
Therefore, PWA copies the grid to the clipboard and requires that we
paste it into notepad, save as an XML file, and then open it in Excel.

Recently, this process failed. It created an error log with the
following contents:

XML PARSE ERROR: Missing end-tag
Error occurs at or below this element stack:
<ss:Workbook>
<ss:Worksheet>
<ss:Table>
<ss:Row>
<ss:Cell>
<ssata>

The problem boiled down to someone creating a task with non-enlish
characters in its name: e' or 'e at the end of communique.

Hopefully, if you get this errror, you will find this message and save
the time it took me to dissect and troubleshoot this.
