See if you find the file using master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'dir C:\ExcelFile.xls'

If the Sql Server find the file so, open the file in Excel and see the name of Sheet.

Wrote in your query analyser the script below:

SELECT *
FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source="C:\ExcelFile.xls";
Extended properties=Excel 8.0')...Plan1$

--My Excel file name ExcelFile.xls and the name of the sheet is Plan1
