I've created a .MHT file in desktop and copied to my application folder. when i call this template in webfocus7.7.02 version i get error message as " (FOC3290) TEMPLATE FILE must be in "Single File Web Page" format
(FOC009) INCOMPLETE REQUEST STATEMENT"

Here is the steps i followed to create .mht file
step1 - Opened excel 2003, created a required cell formatting in sheet1 and saved file as EXCEL_MHT.mht format
step2 - copied the EXCEL_MHT.mht from desktop to webfocus other folder in my application.
step3 - I wrote a simple procedure as below
APP PATH XYZ
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPMHT FORMAT EXL2K TEMPLATE 'EXCEL_MHT' SHEETNUMBER 1
END
Step 4 - when i run this report, i get error message as said above.

I even tried to change the format from EXL2K to other excel formats but no luck.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks

Kittuputtu,

In your .mht file do you have the followign:

1. More than 1 tab?
2. A value in one of the cells?

That may be what it doesn't recognize.

I have worked a lot with .mht files with EXL2K.

Did you save the excel document as excel format with a mht extension or save it in single file web page format ?

And as Mary suggests, there must be a sheet available for the data to be places into. You have said that you formatted sheet 1 cells, and told FOCUS to overwrite sheet 1.

Thanks for the reply...
Yes i have more than 1 tab (sheet1, sheet2, sheet3) and also in sheet1 I have named col1 to col5.
I have saved the excel file with .mht format and placed in other folder in webfocus.

when i open other folder in Webfocus, i can see the file name as excel_mht.mht with internet explorer image and type as "MHTML Document". Is there in any problem with the way it saved in webfocus?
I worked in earlier version 769 and when i placed the .mht file, the icon was same as when i save in my desktop but in 7702 version it is bit different.

The "other" folder in WebFOCUS Developer Studio is not a "real" folder.

Try using windows explorer to copy your MHT file into the correct location (providing you have access of course).

Also, as per Waz, please confirm that you saved as a single page web archive and didn't just type the mht file extension.

Finally, what version of MS Excel are you using to create the file?

Silly question, but where is the mht file located?

Also, could you post the results of APP SHOWPATH and ? PATH or they are sensitive then PM me with them.

i took working .mht file(migrated from 7.6x), copied content(code) into my 'EXCEL_MHT.mht' file and it worked :-)...but it is not working when i create new mht file. I'm trying to analyse what content is missing when i create a fresh .mht compared to working .mht file. I will keep posted on the findings.

I think the issue is how you created the .mht file.

The requirement is that at least 1 cell in SHEET2 has data, not SHEET1. All of the other sheets in the .mht file can be blank. I always put a blank in cell A1 of SHEET2 and never have an issue.
