        Dim MyConnection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
        Dim DtSet As System.Data.DataSet
        Dim MyCommand As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
        MyConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='I:\Sales Analysis\Vecta\vecta customersmb.xls';Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;")
        MyCommand = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [vecta customers$]", MyConnection)
        MyCommand.TableMappings.Add("Table", "Net-informations.com")
        DtSet = New System.Data.DataSet
        MyCommand.Fill(DtSet)
        DGVCustImport.DataSource = DtSet.Tables(0)
        MyConnection.Close()

Hi Mike,

If your Excelsheet was new, every blank cell has a NULL value which will create an error. Furthermore I do not see who you tell the routine until which row it has to read.

Good luck, Rene
