Don't seem any problem with your code. Have you found any solution?

Hi,

Try something like this:

Dim theConnection As New OleDbConnection("provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=1;""")
theConnection.Open()
Dim theDataAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", theConnection)
Dim theDS As New DataSet()
Dim dt As New DataTable()
theDataAdapter.Fill(dt)
Me.dataGridView1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView
