I am trying this code, but nothing happened, even not an error raised.
I know webutil is working because we can read data from a text file to database with Text_IO.
I use
Forms [32 Bit] VERSİON 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle 10g database.
I add webutil correctly in forms, I see excel.pll libraries in the forums, do I need to add something like it?
Any tips will be great..

The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" has not been registered.
You have to install the ACE Provider first, it's non of the OS integrated Provider. You can download it here:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable

I had it installed, restarted the machine an used the following code, but getting the same error message
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 14.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=C:\testData.xls',
'SELECT * FROM [Emoployees$]');
shouldnt it be Excel 12.0 ?
