Try this using the OLEDBonnection object

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=FULLYQUALIFIEDPATHANDFILENAMEHERE;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;

Try this ..

Dim sbConn As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder
sbConn.Append("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
filePath)
sbConn.Append(";Extended Properties=")
sbConn.Append(Convert.ToChar(34))
sbConn.Append("Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2")
sbConn.Append(Convert.ToChar(34))


Dim cnExcel As OleDbConnection = New
OleDbConnection(sbConn.ToString())
cnExcel.Open()
Dim cmdExcel As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("select * from
[sheet1$]", cnExcel)

Dim drExcel As OleDbDataReader
Try
drExcel =
cmdExcel.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)


cmdExcel.Dispose()
If cnExcel.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
cnExcel.Close()
End If
cnExcel.Dispose()
