Hi Arpan you just have to add the file called "poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar" to your classpath ...note that filename may vary depending upon the version you have downloaded for the poi package . i would suggest you to download the latest vesion from jakarta POI binary realease page which is 1.download "poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804.zip" file 2.extract it to the folder say c:\poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804 3. and then simply add to the classpath.. "c:\poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804\poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar" thats it . Namrata Ganatra
