XML cannot be opened, try again, opens?

Jeremy Thomson

Greetings all, my first post to microsoft.public.excel.

I have created about 30 xml spreadsheets. To create the sheets I
saved a workbook as XML. I removed the "ss:ExpandedRowCount=".
Choppped the XML file into a header & footer & my application supplies
from <row> to </row> in the middle.
Most of the files load okay but about 1 in ten comes up with a 'Cannot
open XML' message from Office Assistant.
The thing is, I go back to File Explorer, press enter to load the same
file & it loads just fine into Excel.

Im running Excel 2003 (11.80.12.6568) SP2 on XP Pro 2002 SP2.

I can connect to the machine that generates the xml files through
Citrix. I never ghet a problem loading the files there. That machine
has Excel 2003 (11.655.6300) SP1 on Windows Server 2003 SP1.

Its not a big problem, the files load on the 2nd attempt & I suspect
the client wont experience this problem, just me.
Still I would be interested to know if anyone had experienced similar
behaviour.
