Default which odbc excel driver is the best?

Hi Andre,

These are just two minor variations on exactly the same connection
string. There is only one ODBC driver for Excel.

Hi,

I found two odbc excel drivers:
1)
objconn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};" & _
"FIL=excel 8.0;" & _
"DefaultDir=d:\;" & _
"MaxBufferSize=2048;" & _
"PageTimeout=5;" & _
"DBQ=C:\excel.xls;ReadOnly=0;"

2) objconn.open("DBQ=C:\excel.xls;DefaultDir=C:\l;Dri ver={Microsoft Excel
Driver (*.xls)};ReadOnly=0;")

Are there differences? Which one is the best?

Thanks
Andre
