Darryl,

There are tools called 'jar' and 'javap' that come with Java for stuff like this. No need for 7-zip.

In my copy of POI, the org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory class is in a jar file named poi-ooxml-3.6-20091214.jar -- If you plan t use XLSX format (which is more correctly known as 'ooxml') then you'll definitely need this JAR file (along with several others) in your CLASSPATH.

Can you tell us what your CLASSPATH is currently set to?

Thank you, your explanation helped me a bunch with the tracking the path
down.

I could not open the jar file and so downloaded 7zip which allowed me to see
into the jar files.

I followed the past and found that the class needed to run does not exist in
the jar file. WorkbookFactory is missing.

Being the expert I am at this stuff, I have no idea where to go next to get
the appropriate POI jar files or perhaps a different version of Scott's
HSSFR4 program.
