You might look at Thomas Baier's DCOM interface as an alternative to the odbc-method for accessing EXCEL-files. -d r.ghezzo wrote: HI, no sorry, so far nobody answer.

RE: [R] RODBC and Excel in Widows
Why don't you debug the code and send the patch needed to the maintainer? R is supposed to be a collaborative project, and we need more contributors, especially on Windows.
