I may be wrong, but I think that the datasource points to a directory in
which every .xls file is considered as a table. Then the query goes li

This could work also, but the problem is that the link is an absolute
path to the file on your disk.
At least, I've never found a way to make it relative to the main
database, then it will not work when you transfer the database on your
serv
le.

Aaaah this is the "pleasure" of working with JDBC! :-(
I suppose you're under CFMX, under CF 5 all ODBC drivers were available,
including Excel.
With CFMX, you need to first create an ODBC datasource on your Excel

If they're using Excel 2003, then they're able to save the file as XML
and they could upload that for you to parse over.
Just a thought. :o)

Anyone have any good ideas on letting a user upload an Excel sheet so they can
update a database table?
I can see how I could do this with CSV. Just us CFFile to read in the data and

What about Excel?
