Dear Mr. Enright,
Thank you for sending the Toms River list. That opened easily and works fine. However, there seems to be something wrong with the Brick file. It opens, but only a portion of the data is listed (the voter name column, for example, is totally blank, as are many other blank columns). Could you please re-send the Brick file again. Hopefully it will work this time.
Yours sincerely,
Resident
Good morning,
I opened the file on this computer and it opened successfully.
I am attaching.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Enright,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, however, I still got the same error when opening the file today. All of the columns from A through S are empty when I open the file. The data for columns T through AC is listed in the file.
I don't know what is wrong, but hopefully this error log from Microsoft Excel will help a technician figure out what is wrong. Here is what is listed in the error log when I first try opening the file:
"Errors were detected in file.
Excel completed file level validation and repair. Some parts of this workbook may have been repaired or discarded.
Removed Part: /xl/sharedStrings.xml part with XML error. (Strings) The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. Line 2, column 1456139.
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part."
As mentioned earlier, the other township file opened fine, so we can rule out it being an error on my end and just an error with this specific file. As the error log states, there seems to be a problem in the file with Line 2, Column 1456139, so if that can be looked at and fixed, maybe it will work on my end.
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you!
