Sorry if this is a duplicate.

I have excel templates with formulas. I save them as .mht and load them on the WebFOCUS server to use with my application. Seems the new version of EXCEL 2007 no longer preserves formulas in .mht. So, how do I get my EXCEL template into WebFOCUS with the formulas intact?

Unfortunately, and this is really ridiculous, you need to keep around an old version of Excel!

Known Problem: MHT (template) format not functioning in Excel 2007 (Tech Support User Id required)

So, is it just formulas within templates that don't work with Excel 2007, or the entire template?

Excel 2007 does not generate mht files.

Excel 97-2003 features that are not supported in Office Excel 2007

"Single File Web Page (*.mht; *.mhtml) - Excel 2007 no longer stores Excel-specific feature information in this file format. You can open a file in this format, preserving any Excel-specific features that were created in an earlier version of Excel. However, you can save such a file (or any other workbook) in this file format for publishing purposes only." (Whatever this means!)

In WebFOCUS .mht file created in Excel 2007 are totally unusable for any purpose.

WebFOCUS 7.7/8.0 will hopefully fix it.

I just ran across the same issue last week. Fortunately we still have one computer in our office that has Office 2003. It's not any fun to have to run to that machine to make edits to my template file but at least it works (or my current project would be totally pointless). I hope IBI decides to address this issue (and the larger issue of not creating Office 2007 formats in general) very soon.
