Thanks Steve,
If I had more understanding of the excel version then I might be tempted to go
down this track but I can just imagine the fun given I think it is an xls file
generated on the fly.
And while I have MSSQL for development work I don't have it on the production
server - M$ already takes enough of my money.

What database platform are you using? Because you can use SQL to do it
if you are using MSSQL
see http://blog.cfcentral.com.au/post.cfm/reading-excel-spreadsheets
Or you can use JAVA to do it also
c =
CreateObject("java","java.sql.DriverManager").getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft
Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=" & [filename] );
stmnt = c.createStatement();
rs = stmnt.executeQuery(Select * from [Sheet1$]);
myQuery = CreateObject('java','coldfusion.sql.QueryTable').init(rs);
}
I have used both and both seemed to work well.
You just have to make sure you have the right drivers for the xls
version you are playing with.

Hi,
I'm looking at the options to read an excel spreadsheet and despite
all the good stuff I have found from people like Ben Nadal and
Charlie Arehart nothing seems to want to work 'as advertised'. I
headed down the path of using Java and the POI library via Ben's
POIutility.cfc but couldn't get it to read the file - dunno why, it
was a weird java error. I then tried CFXL by Jason Delmore and while
I can get that to read the demo excel file it won't read the one I
need it to read.
I know there are a few more options but I was just wondering if
anyone here had done this before and could let me know what worked
for them...
Many thanks,
Brett
