I am trying to save a spreadsheet as XML. It works when I have fewer than 6,000 rows, but it fails with more somewhere around 10,000 rows. I get this error:
Error saving the document (file name shown here): Write Error. The file could not be written.
Strangely, it shows the name of the current file, not the name of the file I am trying to save it as. This is on Windowx XP Pro, Open Office 2.3.1. I have also tried this on a Mac running OS 10.5, but am unable to even get the application to launch; it opens a terminal window in X11, but nothing else happens.
I am in a time crunch, can anyone help?

Save As XML error
Re: Save As XML error
Hmmm, I hope your time limit hasn't been reached.
Using OO.o version 2.4 I just did a quick check and saved out a Microsoft Excel 2003 XML file that contained 65,535 rows using File | Save As | File Type = Microsoft Excel 2003 XML.
Did you check obvious things such as disk space or size-limit restraints maybe set by the environment? For example, if your disk is full or if your are saving to a network location, the administrator may have imposed restraints upon your files.
What happens if you try to save it to BOTH a network location and the local computer?
Computer memory restraints might also play a factor here. I have 2 Gig RAM in my computer when I saved the above file.
To show the current file in the error statement is to be expected I believe (as it is using the current file to save OUT to the new file and it is still in the process of saving OUT from the current file).

Re: Save As XML error
I am having the same problem running on vista 64 bit. And as a matter of fact, we are working on the same dataset - I just didn't know he had tried here too.
