Description emile139 2003-10-30 10:59:42 UTC 
Hello,
I did receive an e-mail with a document attached, when I try to open the 
document with OO , I receive error popups
1/"error loading document file :\\\......Read-error This file is password 
protected (ok)"
2/ When I hit (ok) I receive an 2nd popup "An Api call exited abnormally (ok)"
when I hit OK , there is no reaction , I have to "x" Openoffice.
I can send the attached file, please forward an e-mail address
I can open the document on an other PC running Microsoft Office exell.
Please advise

Hi,

what's about using Find an Issue with Spreadsheet as component and
password as key for the summary field ? This will lead you to Issue 402.

Also if you want to attach a document to an Issue, just use the Link
Create a new attachment right under the Keywords field of the Issue.
Otherwise the document get lost and tracking is nearly impossible.

Hello,
I wonder if you did try to open the attached I did send, because 
there is NO password.
This has been confirmed by several people who can open the document 
with microsoft exell without any request to input a password .
MORE these people did "save as" the document on their PC Microsoft 
Exell without any password , they did send the document back to me 
and I still cannot open it...

any comment appreciated

Hi,

have you had a look at all the Issues mentioned in Issue 402 ? I don't
think so.

Also there is the attachment ?

With luck I found it, The Sheet and the workbook are protected with
passwords. This encodes the whole file and this can't be changed by OOo.

Have a look at the Issues mentioned in 402 for more informations.

If you protect your workbook in Excel with a password, Excel encrypts
the file. But it does not use your password for this, but a fixed
built-in password. Therefore excel can load the file without asking
for a PW, but simply using the built-in PW. Nevertheless the file *is*
encrypted, and Calc cannot load it. See also issue 5362.
