John,

I've used the Excel ODBC driver in the past to import some data -- i.e. just
a one-off.  It is slow, but does the job.

Of course, you need to have the appropriate Office components installed on
the server and set the Deployment path to the data to somewhere the server
can see.

Jon

Subject: Witango-Talk: Excel as data source


Has anyone successfully used Excel as a data source?  I have a 
spreadsheet that I want to use that tracks copier, electrical, and fuel 
usage at my school.  It is updated by a secretary, and calculates all 
kinds of things.  I then want witrango to generate a dynamic web page 
with the summary results each week.  I could use a linked table in 
Access.  But I'm just wondering.

I set up the ODBC datasource pointing to the .xls file.  But witango 
keeps telling me it can't connect.  Is there something I am missing on 
the excel side?

Thanks for any pointers.

John
