    Supporting newer version of excel (.xlsx) will certainly be beneficial in many ways. Would be great to see Oracle support this. Surprised that this isn't already the case.

    Not just a limitation for data management, but also allows for tighter security restrictions which are limited on 97-2003 xls format.

    These are the new requirements for some companies:

    Your attachment could not be delivered. For data security reasons, ******** no longer accepts Microsoft Office files of older types via email. The affected file formats include Microsoft Word (doc), Microsoft Excel (xls, xlt, xlm), and Microsoft PowerPoint (ppt, pot, pps). PDF documents and MS Office documents in the new file format (docx, xlsx, pptx) are accepted.

    Thanks,

    Eros
