Renoir,
It uses Jet ODBC driver. I would try to install the lates version of it.

>Excel 97 was the highest version for this parameter at the MSDN site. I tried 8 and others, but the table never gets records. Could there be something with the XLS file itself that it doesn't like? It's just a simple column and rows of tasks with some bar formatting.
