I can provide a workaround to my problem.... change over to using the builtin
ole32 library rather than the native one.

- "ole32"        = "native, builtin"
+ "ole32"        = "builtin"

This then permits excel to open and save files without incident (including some
*really* complex ones). Unfortunately, the files that I saved during the time it
was not working are still not able to be opened, so that data is lost.

Don't ask me why this works... Excel was working quite well with the native
ole32.dll up until I upgraded to a more recent snapshot (> 200403??). But
perhaps this will provide someone with sufficient information to help them
diagnose this problem. 

(There was a post by Dan Sawyer on wine-users about this some time ago, I shall
forward this work around to him too.)

Good luck & thanks!
