RE: Dates in POI Sql2Xls

Bob,

I've only ever used POI from Java but have you tried using an actual date data 
type to store the date? I know that storing dates works `cause I've done it 
before. You may want to take a look at the Javadoc for the method you're trying 
to call and make sure that you're passing an appropriate object type into it.

Subject: Dates in POI Sql2Xls


   I have one more issue with the POI sql2xls programs. 

   I was trying to save an employee's hire date into a date data type field
   in a physical file and then move that date into the excel sheet the POI
   program creates.  It doesn't seem to do what I want it to do (of course).

   Is my issue with the date field in the physical file?  If so, how should I
   store the date in the physical file so the POI program can easily convert
   it to a date in the spreadsheet?  When I store it in a plain old 8/0
   numeric field, it just moves the text to the cell instead of formatting as
   a date.
