I was using the 2.5.1 release and I just also tried the latest alpha build with the same results.

Which version do you use? Possibly the file contains lists. Make a countercheck with POI 3.0. Regards, Karl-Heinz. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 11.

ByteArrayOutputStream ba = null; FileInputStream fileInputStream = null; HSSFWorkbook hssfWorkbook = null; ba = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); fileInputStream = new FileInputStream( httpServletRequest.getSession().getServletContext().getInitParameter( "repReviewFile" ) ); POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem( fileInputStream ); hssfWorkbook = new HSSFWorkbook( fs ); On this last line, I get this exception: rg.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unable to construct record instance, the following exception occured: null org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactory.createRecord(RecordFactory.java:237 ) org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactory.createRecords(RecordFactory.java:16 0) org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.<init>(HSSFWorkbook.java:163) org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.<init>(HSSFWorkbook.java:130) Does anyone know why this might be happening. I have no protection or auto filters set on the file either. Thanks.
