I encountered this same error report when trying to process an Excel
spreadsheet, but it appears to be related to what version I save the document as.  
I'm using Microsoft Excel 2002 (10.4302.4219) SP-2 to create my documents.  If I
save the document in the default xls format it processes correctly.  However, if
I save the document in
Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook (*.xls) 
format, I receive the same error this bug details.   I will attach the two
versions I'm working with.  Please note that I only process the worksheet titles
'Calls' and ignore the others.

Ahhh.  I just saw the other bug report similar to this that mentions you don't
support pre-97 formats.  Fair enough.  I will adjust my application accordingly.
 Please ignore my posts.

-Oh yeah.  Thanks for everything.  The POI project is _excellent_.
