    Hi,

    Yes your right there. The Jey Provider only retrieves data. If you want to modify the source then I suggest to access the excel worksheet via VSTO (Visual studio tools for Office) or use the PIA(Primary Interop Assembly) for Office and lastly you can access it via COM objects.

    Here is a useful link that might help you: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q301982/
