Thanks Nick,

It hadn't occurred to me to unzip and read through the xml.  By doing so I was 
able to find what was expected, and I can write a method that will translate 
the file path into the appropriate URL like form such as 
("file:////network%20place/) and it works .  It is unfortunate that it will not 
just accept a java file path but this will work for me and I like it better 
than the excel function method

Thanks again
David

Can you try unzipping the .xlsx files from POI and Excel, and seeing how 
they differ in their hyperlinks? If memory serves, they get stored as 
relations, but a grep (or similar) should let you find which file(s) 
they're in
