Can this be done with SQL Server 2000? Any ideas of other methods. Thanks.
SELECT * INTO XLImport3 FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.
'Data Source=C:\test\xltest.xls;

I think I was not clear in my post. I don't want to import data from SQL to Excel, I want to do it the other way around. I want to query a list of numbers that I have an excel spreadsheet. Can I do this in SQL Server 2000?
