While I haven't tried and can't testify to the practicality, I believe this is incorrect. An ODBC driver for Excel files intalls with several products.

I think a more accurate statement would be that ODBC is for tabular data that lends itself to display/storage in rows and columns. Excel falls into that category.


>ODBC is only for database products. ADO allows for connecting to other types of sources, so long as they have an OLEDB provider. Excel falls into that category.
