### Apache Hop version? 2.16 ### Java version? java 21.0.6 ### Operating system Windows ### What happened? ### Summary: Excel Input fails to read an .xlsx file from a Windows UNC network path when using the default Excel XLSX, XLS reader. The same file exists and can be read when the pipeline is configured like other working imports using Excel XLSX (Streaming) with directory + filemask. Input file: \\some.network.folder\my_excel.xlsx Hop Variable: NETWORK_PATH=\\some.network.folder ### Hypothesis: The issue seems related to path/URI normalization in the classic POI Excel reader path. The UNC path is converted to: file:////some.network.folder/... and then appears to be passed to POI/Java as: file:\some.network.folder\... which is treated as a literal local path instead of a network UNC path. ### Additional note: Other Excel Input pipelines in the same project work correctly when using SAX_POI and directory + filemask. ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 ### Issue Component Component: Transforms -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
