"Invalid Range, missing data type..." error when querying currency fields

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. I create a new record that has a currency field 
2. The record gets created correctly incl. the currency field and its value
3. When querying the exact same record and with the fields that I just created, 
I get "Invalid Range, missing data type, or other error, type is: Account, Type 
mismatch"

I have been using excel connector a lot for a couple of years without any 
problems. Recently I started getting these errors with all currency fields. 
Upgrading to the most recent version (Winter11) of the Excel Connector did not 
help.

We use multicurrency in SF and have Professional Edition with API enabled. I 
have Win7 with Office 2007, Winter11 excel connector.

Try changing data type of currency fields in excel sheet by clicking on the 
currency cell go to home--> under number select Currency to General. That 
should work
