Transferring Excel File To POI Loader

Hi. This probably has been in FAQ's somewhere. Small problem (I hope). I have downloaded three state rest area POI into My Documents and the excel files are there.

Upon using the loader program, when it comes to browse for the directory, I'm going to the folder it's in, but then there's nothing showing in the folder, which there is. I've gone out of the loader and checked the folder in My Documents and it's there.

Something I'm doing wrong??

Thanks.........Rod

.

When you run POI Loader, you will select the FOLDER where the files are located. You don't (and can't) select the FILE. The files won't show up in the POI Loader dialog box when you are selecting where the data is located on your computer.

Thanks. Just what I

Thanks. Just what I thought---a simple solution to a simple question. I just got my GPS a week ago and am going to the USA next month. So, I'm loading the data I might want now.
