SAP JAVA Gui fails to load Excel File FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'

Hi All,

I am trying to read an Ecxel File from the Local Machine using the function Module 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'. The program works fine when I am using the Windows GUI, but when it is executed through portal (via JAVA GUI), the function Module raises an Exception 'Upload OLE'. I tried using another function module ''KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT' which has the same functionality and it also raises the same exception. Is there a JAVA GUI and OLE compadability issue?

Please help! The object will only be used using the JAVA GUI (PORTAL).

Thanks.

Ahmed.
