RE: Help -- HSSFR4 suddenly cannot find the pieces it needs.

When I say 'try to use the hssfr4' I'm referring to programs that have been running
fine for almost a year now.

I'm suddenly getting this error when i try to use the hssfr4 service program.

It looks like it's suddenly not finding some java piece it needs.

I tried the javap thing and got this -

$

javap -s org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory

The java.version property was detected as input. This property is used
ERROR:Could not find org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory
$

ANY help is appreciated -- there are production things that need to be run very soon and I'm no java guru.

A guy here was trying to install something else, not related to poi, that uses java, afaik that 'may' be the only thing that has changed.

I'm using POI36 and the SETENV program in the POI36 library - OS version is 7.1.
