So I have successfully created a script that runs from a button on a windows. When I moved the script to a gateway Event Scripts on a tag change… I get this error "com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.JythonExecException: Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in ImportError: No module named poi " from this line of code. “from org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel import Row,Cell” ---

Apache POI isn’t available to use in the gateway. That it’s even available in the client and designer is a quirk of how class paths work in the client and the fact that you have the reporting module installed. ---

Bummer. Would it work if I put it in the visionWindowOpened area? ---

I have a free module available that would make the Apache POI libraries available in scripts for your client/designer. It’s called Tamaki Scripting and Available Here: [http://www.tamaki.co.nz/links/](http://www.tamaki.co.nz/links/) ---

Sounds good Cody, do you have any documentation on your scripting module? Cheers ---
