	I need to transform a lot of data from multiple Excel files and
export one standard big text file.

	I created an ODBC System DSN, and it work fine.  But I have about
100 excel files, and I would like to develop an interface with a =
dropdown
list with all the excel files in my directory, choose one, and import =
it.

	Any ideas how I could do that?  I tried to create a File DSN, but
Zope doesn't seem to detect it. With such a connection, I could change =
the
connection string into the DSN file when needed.

	So:

	- Is it possible to connect to a File DSN ODBC from Zope?

	- Is there a better, cleaner solution I could try?

Thanks!
