Thank you so much for your kind remarks regarding the issue I was referring to. Let me explain a bit further. I'm really only going to be changing some of the values of a cell, as well as font color and the fill color of the cell - that's all I'll ever need to change.

I would love to upload the example old.xls file. Being a newbie, I didn't see a way to upload a file to a post. If that's possible, please let me know. Until then, you may obtain the file here: upload file

Notice the nuances in row 8 (missing vertical borders) Column 8 (J) is missing fill color, rows 17-20 loses all gray fill, and cell F30 loses font color. I don't understand why it's losing some formatting only sporadically. Especially when you can see in the properties.txt debug file the values appear correct.

Thanks for the extra eyeballs, guys and gals!

Joe
