how to display records from an excel file

hi this is my first blog in this blogspot , hope it may help you ..

i have seen most of the time software people require to display records from an Microsoft Excel in an ASP. We could use SQL command while retreving data from an excel sheet. for the we know how to connect with sql

here is the sql connection string :

strConnection = "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("nameofexcelfile.xls") & "; DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};"

We will use a specific driver to connect to Excel files.
so for that we can use ODBC

An Example :

strConnection = "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("nameofexcelfile.xls") & "; DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};"

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rss = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
cn.open strConnection


sql="select * from tablename;"

rss.Open sql, conn, adOpenStatic, adLockPessimistic


do while not rss.eof
response.write rss("Fieldname")
rss.movenext
loop

rss.close
Set rss = nothing
conn.close
Set conn = nothing


and now u can access you excel content in you are asp coding

thank you.
