Hello,

I need some help....I have to create part of an application that uploads an MS Excel file, and stores the data into a MySQL db...and I have no clue where to start...

any guidance???

Your question is too vague. By "upload" do you mean with a JSP page or from a desktop Java application? (This is the Java forum by the way. There is a separate JSP forum here:http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum24.html)

Without more information no one can really help you.

Well, It's supposed to be a java desktop application that upload/loads the data from the MS Excel file (which is also on the desktop) into the specified table in a MySQL DB...

I've been researching on the net, and I was reading about FileInputStream...in the java.io package...
