Hi,

i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither
xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). 
When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003
everything works fine.
Is it possible to use ODBC connection to open old format files, or i guess i
will have to open and save every file in Excel in new format, which isn't
very practical.

Thanks,
Yuri
