So another question if anybody is still listening: I want to create an VS 2008 Database Project for excel that initially captures the meta-data from an existing workbook which can then be updated. In other words I would like to manage excel (and text file) meta-data in the same way as a regular database project. I have tried adding a database project (above) with an Excel ODBC driver and C#>Office>Excel 2007 project but neither returns any meta-data. I also tried the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLEDB Provider but could not get it to work. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. The answer to my own question – they are located under Other Project Types>Database.
