Unable to write data into excel file when it's close

Question

Hi,
I'm facing this problem and it's a bit weird. I'm using the following method to insert data into excel file. But when excel file is close, it unable to write data into the excel sheet. But it was able to write the data into the excel sheet if i open the excel file when running the program.
Can anyone please tell me what's wrong to the code?
public int updateLog(String sheet, String no, String cpId, String CatId, String rbtCode, String rbt, String rbtName, String artistName, String price, String rbtFileName, String songId, String msg){
        int result = -1;
        try{
            SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",Locale.ENGLISH);
            String actionDate = formatter.format(new Date());
            rbtName = rbtName.replaceAll("'", "''");
            artistName = artistName.replaceAll("'", "");
            String sql = "insert into [Sheet3$] (Code, CpID, CategoryID, RBTCode, RBT, RBTName, ArtistName, Price, RBTFileName, SongID, UploadStatus, FileUploadedDateTime) ";
            sql = sql + " values ('" + no + "', '" + cpId + "', '" + CatId + "', '" + rbtCode + "', '" + rbt + "', '" + rbtName + "', '" + artistName + "', '" + price + "', '" + rbtFileName + "', '" + songId + "', '" + msg + "', '" + actionDate + "')";
            System.out.println(sql);
            log.writeLog(sql);
            result = stmnt.executeUpdate(sql);
        } catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            log.printStackTrace(e);
        return result;
    public int openConnection(){
        int result = -1;
        try{
            Class.forName(dbDriver);
            c = DriverManager.getConnection(conStr + excelFilePath+";ReadOnly=0;");
            stmnt = c.createStatement();
        } catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            log.printStackTrace(e);
            return -1;
        return 1;
    }Thanks
