Can you catch this exception and then printout the contents of exception.getCause()? That'll tell you what was the target of the "new" instance that java thinks it's trying to call and what happened.

However, it dies if I try to process the file straight from Outlook. I save the entire file to a temp location before trying to process it. I realize this is a little off the wall, but any help would be appreciated. Worst case, I'll fall back to CSV format. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta Poi Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
