"java.io.FileNotFoundException" occurs eventhough file present in location

While try to run code containing the following snippet,I am getting ERROR----
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents and Settings\User_2\workspace\test\src\Login_Credentia ls1.xls (The system cannot find the file specified)
Please see the code below-
// Read data from excel sheet
FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("C:\\Documents and Settings\\User_2\\workspace\\test\\src\\Login_Cred entials1.xls");
Workbook w = Workbook.getWorkbook(fi);
Sheet s = w.getSheet(0);
String a[][] = new String[s.getRows()][s.getColumns()];
// Write the input data into another excel file
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Documents and Settings\\User_2\\workspace\\test\\src\\LoginResul t1.xls");
WritableWorkbook wwb = Workbook.createWorkbook(fo);
WritableSheet ws = wwb.createSheet("loginresult1", 0);

Tried this code in eclipse.

Then it isn't there.
List the contents of this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\User_2\workspace\test\src

Oh, and please use code tags when posting code.

It's been a while since I tried to do paths in Windows, but, you may need to escape spaces in file and directory names. Also, you can use unix notation in Java even in windows:

You might try:

"C:/Documents\ and\ Settings/User_2/workspace/test/src/Login_Credentials.xls"

Spaces aren't a problem.

Change all like this.

FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("C://Documents and Settings/User_2/workspace/test/src/Login_Credentials1.xls");

Why?
Apart from the '//' (which is incorrect), the rest is exactly the same as the OP, where '\\' is the equivalent to '/'.
