If you're using CF5, you can specify a connection string, so no DSN is
required. That way you can access it through ODBC.
Why no DSN? If you can't go that route, I have a hard time believing
that your other options (COM, DTS) are available if you can't set up a
simple DSN.

Subject: reading an XLS file into a query...
Hello All,
Here's what I want to do:
User uploads an XLS file (column names will always be consistent) - this
I've got figured out. CF reads the XLS file into a query and dumps the
data into a SQL table. - part of this I can't figure out.
I know how to read from a text file and do an import into SQL that way,
however, my problem is that I need to read DIRECTLY from an XLS file
that has been uploaded. NO DSN connections are allowed.
I'm thinking maybe a COM object? What do you all think? Where should I
start hunting for knowledge?
I've tried CFFILE, CFHTTP, and CFCONTENT. None of those do the trick.
