Thanks Jim....and yes plz....fire me some COM examples. I did try this code:
<cfquery datasource="ExcelTest" name="test"> SELECT * FROM `Request Form$` </cfquery> <cfdump var="#test#"> It worked, but the result is a mess and would require alot of parsing...and it took about 145 seconds to complete...ugh! I'll keep at it....saw some Java based tags that would bypass the need for COM ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
