I'm using excel as an odbc datasource, and my customer needs to be able to update the excel spreadsheet. However, when zope has connected to the database connector, I can not open the file read/write, nor can I replace the file with another. Read-only is checked on my odbc driver.

Any thoughts on how to get around this?

I suspect the problem is that you need to set read-write security permissions on the excel file (in the file system). MS Access can have this problem too.
