I'm using:

VB Code:
  1. Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
  2.    Set oConn = New ADODB.Connection
  3. oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=filename.xls; Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;"""
to access an Excel spreadsheet using ADO.

But, if the spreadsheet is open it fails. What do I need to change to access a spreadsheet that it already open?

Thanks
