Hi, I am not sure if this is a bug .
    I am trying to read a xls file which has a cell with Date format.
    I have used EventExample.java for this purpose. What is happening is that 
instead of date it returns me a number. I looked at the APIs for DateRecord but 
there isn't such class. I am just wondering how to get around this problem,I am 
aware that Excel stores dates as numbers and probably i am getting that number. 
So the last resort would be to write a formula which will convert this number 
to date.

ask this question on the list.  There is a dateutil.
