I've had that problem when there are more than 255 columns with data - even if blank, causing [select * from someworkbook] to fail.

Subject: Excel Driver Not Working

lnsqlhandle = SQLSTRINGCONNECT("Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)}; DBQ=" + lcspreadsheet + ";")

I use the above string to connect to Excel files. It normally does fine with xls and xlsx. Today I have a customer that has Office 2010 installed and it does not work. It returns a -1 which doesn't tell me much.

Do I need to change the connection string for 2010?
