Hi!

I need to crete a visual basic .net application to read Excel 2000
files. Does anyone know if I need some kind of driver or some extra
file to be able to do it?

Thanks a lot!

No special driver needed - Excel supports OleDb and Odbc connections
so you can use the standard Ado.Net practices. Here's the
connectionstrings.com page for excel:
