I'm not a C# (or anything.Net) person, but I guess this is using OLEDB to
query an Excel file.
As such the file is closed and the concept of "ActiveSheet" does not apply.
You return data from the tables (worksheets) in the SQL executed.
I suppose...

Hi,
i'm using this code to import data from an EXCEL file:

oleConn = new OleDbConnection(strConn);
oleConn.Open();

dtSchema = oleConn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables , null);
DataRow fRow = dtSchema.Rows[0];
TheSheet = fRow["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
TheSheet = TheSheet.Substring(0, TheSheet.Length - 1);
oleConn.Close();

if (!TheSheet.EndsWith("$")) TheSheet += "$";
OleDbDataAdapter myAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" +
TheSheet+ "]", strConn);
myAdapter.Fill(ds);


The problem occurs when the first sheet (DataRow fRow = dtSchema.Rows[0];)
is not the active one.

So my question is ... in the code above, how can i get the actie sheet
instead of the first one?
