RE: Microsoft Excel DSN

Excel DSNs are notoriouly horrible

Make an Access Link Table and then use Access as the datasource - it
also means that it's easier to replace the Excel spreadsheet

Microsoft Excel DSN

2003-06-09 Thread Tyagi, Badal
Hi,
I'm unable to make dsn in CFMX of Microsoft Excel sheet. If I do it through
ODBC Datasource Administrator, then CF does not recognise it and throws
error
"Data source 'import' could not be found. "

Actually I'm uploading an excel sheet from client's m/c renaming it to my
dsn file name and then thru  tag I read the records in it. The same
thing I did it w/  tag but till date I'm unable to resolve MX
issues related to COM objects(working fine in CF5.0), so I thought doing it
ODBC way.

regards,
