I've done something similar before with a txt file, I used CFFILE READ, gave it a variable name looped through the varname and extracted my data using CFSET newLine=Chr(13) Chr(10) as the loop delimeter, but I think xls is slightly different format.

RE: querying an xls file
Hi, If u need to extract data from an Excel sheet , you need not use CFFILE, you can directly use excel as an ODBC datasource You can go the CFIDE administration page, ODBC datasource and create a DSN using the Microsoft Excel Driver and then access it in the same way as u access any other database Regards, Dimple -Original Message- From: John McCosker [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 2:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: querying an xls file Greetings, could anyone advice me what would be the best way to extract data from, an excel xls file, I want to extract each column from each row and insert it into a DSN.
