What kind of problems were you having? I am just wondering because of our
prior discussions. There is a new DBD::Excel available (released few days
ago partly due to our heated discussion on this). If you ever try that
driver let us know if that solved any problems.

I found, over time, that DBD::ODBC had problems with Excel. I would save
the Excel sheet as .csv and used DBD::CSV, instead. My use was a one way
conversion/update of Oracle from the spread sheets. I made a macro for the
data entry people to update the .csv file without having to think too
hard...
