Richard: Installing the VFP ODBC Driver worked, but I see your point.
I'm not sure I understand all I know about this. It really bothers me
when the wrong thing makes it right.
Thanks,

It's not the VFP ODBC driver you need installed; it's the Office ODBC
driver(s). I don't think that gets installed by default with Office but I could
be wrong as I haven't installed Office in quite some time. You have to dive
into the advanced installation stuff, iirc.

Okay, I found VFP ODBC drivers and installed them. Now it works with the below
connection string with one slight problem
lnsqlhandle = SQLSTRINGCONNECT([Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;
Data Source="Excel.dsn"; DBQ=] + lcspreadsheet + [; Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;
HDR=YES";])
The Data Source must be incorrect because a window pops up and says select data
source. I select Excel.dsn and it works.
<rant>I can't believe the amount of time spent getting things to work on Windows 8
that worked fine on Windows 7! ODBC, Remote Desktop, simple network connections.
Sheesh!</rant>
