I have been told we need to make a feature that will
allow the user to upload an excel spreadsheet (this
will always be formatted in the same was) to the server
then on postback link to the spreadsheet and read the
information from specific cells out into a web form
which can be checked before submission by web form
to the sql server database.

I've never done this before i am fairly sure that i
can connected to a excel spreadsheet as a datasource
*hopes with fingers crossed* but can i specify individual
cells to write from? how difficult is to specify which
worksheet your wanting information from etc

I am going to look into it on the web later but if anyone
has any ideas or has done something similar i'd very
much appreciate any help with this, I did in the past
have to attempt connecting to a excel sheet which
didn't go well.
