Query1:
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=F:\Test.xls',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

Query2:
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=\\user11\Test\Test.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

Please explain how to user Query2.

Thanks,
Hari

You need to specify the folder name

SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=\\user11\F\Test\Test.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

I have given the correct path surely because i tested.
The error is:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
