Mike,

The problem I'm referring to was not evident in 2.5.1, it was specifically in 3.1, though I think it's probably a good idea to get a new version. Personally, I stopped using POI about a year ago, and at that time I was running 3.6

I would also urge you to PLEASE don't put your JAR files in /QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext. It makes it impossible to test/use other versions of POI on the same machine/partition. Put them in another directory, and then use the CLASSPATH to locate them.

I'm looking under IBM/UserData/Java400/Ext
I see poi-2.5.1
Poi-contrib-2.5.1
Poi-scratchpad-2.5.1

Maybe I need newer versions???

There was a known bug in POI 3.1 that would cause this. Are you
running POI 3.1?

A co worker of mine has written a program that creates an Excel Spreadsheet via Scotts POI procedures.
The Spreadsheet uses the VLOOKUP formula.

When the spreadsheet is initially opened you get a message to 'Enable Editing' but Only the first time the spreadsheet is opened.
Also the Formulas don't execute, they show #Value, However if you press F2 on the formula it will execute .

I've compare the formulas before and after hitting F2 and they appear the same(which I expected).

Any idea whats going on here?
