Try this code sample
----------------------
string filename = @"E:\234.xls";
string sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + filename + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;";
OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection(sConnectionString);
objConn.Open();
DataTable dte = null;
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dte = objConn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, null);
string fname = dte.Rows[0].ItemArray[2].ToString();
OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand("SELECT name,[phone no] FROM [" + fname + "]", objConn);
OleDbDataAdapter objAdapter1 = new OleDbDataAdapter();
objAdapter1.SelectCommand = objCmdSelect;
objAdapter1.Fill(ds, "xldata");
objConn.Close();

Hi.
These are small tips for you:

public void OpenDocument(string filename)
{
WorkBooks = oExcel.GetType().InvokeMember("Workbooks", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, oExcel, null);
WorkBook = WorkBooks.GetType().InvokeMember("Open", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, WorkBooks, new object[] { name, true });
WorkSheets = WorkBook.GetType().InvokeMember("Worksheets", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, WorkBook, null);
WorkSheet = WorkSheets.GetType().InvokeMember("Item", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, WorkSheets, new object[] { 1 });
}

public void SaveDocument(string filename)
{
if (File.Exists(name))
WorkBook.GetType().InvokeMember("Save", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null,WorkBook, null);
else
WorkBook.GetType().InvokeMember("SaveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, WorkBook, new object[] { name });
}

public void SetValue(string range, string value)
{
Range = WorkSheet.GetType().InvokeMember("Range", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, WorkSheet, new object[] { range });
Range.GetType().InvokeMember("Value", BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, Range, new object[] { value });
}

Use with this:
OpenDocument(filePath);
SetValue("A1", "your value");
CloseDocument();

Good luck.
Evgeni
