Description Akash Singhal 2006-05-11 11:23:28 UTC 
If a particular excel file contains drop down boxes then the record type of 
that record is 93 if i'm not wrong it is throwing an invocation target 
exception when trying to access the same.

I have tried to create new HSSFWorkbook(POIFilesystem object) object which is 
throwing this exception.
I've tried to debug through the code for RecordFactory class in that a method 
called createRecord initializes the Object in which recType variable is used 
There if you check recType variable != 93 then i'm able to use the same excel 
file for solving my purpose.

Actually i want to index the excel file in order to do that i want the contents 
of the File.

Kindly look into the issue.
