I have a program call AutoSlate which tracks car maintenance fuel ect
and for some reason it has stated putting ####### in the date field
just certain ones not all the date field. If I click on the it will put
the correct date in and when I save it it's fine. Though when I open the
document back open I get the ##### in current date field again. I have
also experience this in Documents to Go if I click on the ###### it will
show in cell information the correct date but will not update it. Here
is what I cut from the cells as you see it give the dates correctly but
if you look at the document you see #########. I have spoke to Auto Slate.

I assume you are talking about using Excel to open the
conduit-generated spreadsheet. I believe your problem is that Excel
is not allocating enough space to print the text in the column. All
you should have to do is select the entire spreadsheet and select
FORMAT->COLUMN->AUTO FIT SELECTION to correct this. I think this is a
problem in your Excel settings, although I am not
sure what the problem is.

Though after everytime I reopen the file in Excel and Documents to Go it
goes right back with the ########.

Any suggestions.

Thanks

If the autofitting of columns fixes the problem...

Are you using xl97?

There have been lots of posts complaining that sometimes xl97 won't keep the
columnwidths between closing and reopening.

When you click on Help|about, what version do you see?

If it's not xl97sr2, I'd install it.

the kb article has a link to this:

Some posters say that works and others post back saying it didn't.
