Hi,

We want to start to use some excel steps.
The first problem I have is that the format of a normal excel file seems to=
 be not supported.
This is the error message I get when I use the excelFindRow task:

File does not have correct content type (not a '.xls' file?): application/o=
ctet-stream


I read here: http://lists.canoo.com/pipermail/webtest/2008q3/010837.html th=
at the expected format would be application/vnd.ms-excel, but when I manual=
ly create the xls file, I still get the same error message.



Does anybody have experience in this matter?



Thanks!

David
