ASP Reading of Columns from Excel 2003

I am trying to read in data from an Excel Spread sheet, however, I am getting the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Cannot open database '(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

I am attaching the code that I wrote. Please note that I have already defined the "name" of the range to "my_range" and the rows "NAME" and "EMAIL" already exist.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?  Thanks!

' Set Connection Params
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)}; DriverId=790;" &_
"DBQ=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\excel\excel.xls;"

Set RS=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")

' Write the SQL Query
RS.open "SELECT * FROM my_range", oConn

do until RS.EOF
Response.Write ( RS("NAME") & " -- " & RS("EMAIL") & "")
RS.movenext
Loop

RS.Close
oConn.Close
Set RS = Nothing

Open in new window
