    Default Unable to instantiate the class to use the method of that class

    Hello,

    In JAVA program, I am trying access a method from a Excel class but I am unable to instantiate the Excel class to access the method defined in Excel class.
    Eclipse shows error as "The constructor Excel(String) is not visible." Please suggest how to instantiate the class to access the members of the class.

    Please suggest.

    Please post the source code for the classes you are having problems with.
    Be sure to wrap all code in code tags.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
