I found the reading of whole sheets somewhat unsafe, so I always create a named range (here: data) including header and do the following. Never had problems with this. channel = odbcConnectExcel("macronutrients.xls") ac = sqlQuery(channel,"select * from data") odbcClose(channel) Dieter ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
