Holden,
Because Excel doesn't have an OLE-DB provider yet, you need to use the default OLE-DB Provider for ODBC. I would recommend setting up an ODBC connection entry for your Excel spreadsheet and specify this when creating the ADO connection. You could do it without the entry and specify everything in the connection string, but it is far easier (IMO) this way.

Ex.
oConn = createobject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open "MyExcelODBCName"
