report

The report engine generates corrupt excel files when a grid item has no data to display (the data set bound to this grid retrieves no data).

Step to reproduce :
1. generate an xls file (through the report engine) using the sample.xml, test.css and test.rptdesign attached to this bug report.
NB : in test.rptdesign, the xml data source path is set to c:/sample.xml and the css file is set to c:/test.css
2. try to open the generated xls file using Office 2007

Comment 4 Xiaoying Gu CLA 2011-06-27 03:53:56 EDT 
This issue did exist in the 2.6.2 release.

But I can not reproduce it in the latest 3.7.0 release. Set as fixed.
