The error i get is "ERROR[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified ".

I have used the connection string as

'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=C:\test\xltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0'

Also please let me know the format for the column names in the excel sheet and the format for the sql query.

Thanks a lot...
