Hi Steve, Which version of FME are you using? I'm just wondering whether it is the ODBC or the ADO reader (FME 2006 or 2006-GB)
I'd suggest trying it with 2006-GB - the official release of this is now on our website, so you won't have to use a beta. If it still fails then send your xls file into [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll take a look at the issue. Mark Mark Ireland, Senior Product Specialist Safe Software Inc.
