Hello, you could try to access the excel file via ODBC if the only thing you need to do is reading. It worked for me when I was working with Excel 95 (no COM) and wanted to read in worksheets in python.
Here are some infos on excel datasources: http://www.idude.net/excel/articles/using_excel_file_datasources.asp I could not access password-protected excel files, the fetchall() method did not work, create/drop index, alter table did not work, table names are like "[sheet1$]" (note the brackets and the dollar sign). Just my 2Cents, Karsten. -- Highspeed-Freiheit. Bei GMX supergünstig, z.B. GMX DSL_Cityflat, DSL-Flatrate für nur 4,99 Euro/Monat* http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
