BTW:

Office12 includes a new OLEDB provider called

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;
Data Source=d:\my documents\mytable.xls;
Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;

it appears an interesting update of Jet4:

it reads both Excel 8 and Excel 12 files.
(no difference in settings, just use Extended properties Excel 12.0)

BUT it can read long strings. NO 255 char limit.
