for example. Excel list viewer objects store the number of rows and columns
amongst other things and PC objects store their original file name.

I had this problem after migrating to JDeveloper 10.1.3. Problem was with inconsistent DB column types. In our case, the DB column was CHAR containing only numbers, but VO defined it as NUMBER. This caused no problem in 9.0.3 we used before.
