Thank you for your reports. You are right that this did seem to break with
the 12.0.1 update. The error alert is just warning you (in a generic way)
that the hyperlinks are getting lost.

We are investigating this now. In the meantime, if it's possible to save the
file in Windows Excel 2007 as .xlsx that will cause the problem not to
happen.

Thanks,

Pat

I installed Excel update 12.0.1.  When I open some (but not all) of my
excel workbooks (97-2004 .xls format), I receive a message "File
Error: Data May Have Been Lost."  I click "okay."  This sequence
repeats two more times and then the workbook opens.  Everything looks
okay, but I have not studied it in detail.  There is so much data in
the workbook that I would not readily know if data has been lost.  If
I save the file in Excel 2008 (.xlsx), the problem does not appear.
What is going on here?  Any dangers?  Did the 12.0.1 patch correctly
install or should I reinstall the patch that was released yesterday.

Same here. Seems to be a bug in 12.0.1, because I cannot find any
missing data in my workbooks either, but then, you never can tell...

So I have the same question because these are important data that
contain part of the book accounting for my small business ...

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jürgen.

Pat: Thanks for noting the problem. Your advice is to save the file
to Windows Excel 2007 in .xlsx format so it will not cause a
problem. Please recall that I and, I believe, Jurgen, are on a Mac
platform (10.5.2). Did you mean to save it to Mac 2008 in .xlsx
format? You opine that by doing so, the problem is avoided. I assume
no data will have been lost. Is that correct? Please confirm. By
the way, is the hyperlink a cell link to (a) another cell on the same
spread***, (b) another cell on a different spread*** in the same
workbook, or (c) another cell in another workbook? Perhaps, all 3?
Thanks. DBH 3-18-08.
