Hi,
How can I best simulate Excel as an OLE DB consumer?

I would like to be able to write an app using ADO or ? to reproduce a
data retrieval problem I'm having with a custom OLE DB provider app.

The app behaves much like the MS SQL OLEDB provider.
Data access from ADO and the custom client works fine.

But data access from Excel is not working. The string data is not being
shown. I would like to be able to repro this by writing an OLE DB
consumer that exhibits the same behviour as Excel.

Thanks
