Why not use ADO and query the excel file as a data object from now on?
This was as Office365 or any other new version comes out. You are
safe.
+1 for this - the Office Connectivity Components. Just work directly
with XLSX, much easier.

The way I tend to do this these days is the Office Data Connectivity
Components (free Microsoft component). Handles all types of Excel files
via OLE DB:
This.SQLHandle = SqlStringConnect("Driver={Microsoft
Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};" ;
+"DBQ=" +
FullPath(lcFile)+";")
... where lcFile is your Excel workbook. then:
lcSelect=[SELECT
Date,Account,Name,Ref1,Value,Lodgement FROM
"Sheet1$"]
lnResult = SQLEXEC(This.SQLHandle, lcSelect,
"_stage1_")
That gets you a cursor called '_stage1_' with the contents of Sheet 1 in
the workbook.
Don't really see any easier options to be honest.
--------------------------------
Okay, I redid my getxls() and named it getxlsx(). One note is that
"Sheet1$" above is the name of the first sheet. If it is different
you need to rename the sheet in the spreadsheet or rename the variable
above.
Thanks for your help!
