Just an update. I have gotten Open Office to upload items. Most times the upload will time out, and it comes back with just a blank page, but the items are being uploaded. Another problem is that it will not split large files. That I have to do manually. So, it comes down to it's not as quick as using Excel, but I do get the full description, but I have to check to make sure it uploads the entire file.

I was able to get the files that would not upload to upload by making sure the Row Height was set to the default height. During the copy operation from one sheet to another some of the row heights were changed. Making sure the Roe Height hasn't changed, and splitting the myself seems to have this working.

I'm using Excel 2000, and Open Office 2.2
