Importing Excel in SQL 2005

Whenever I try to import an Excel spreadsheet to SQL 2005, using Task Import
Data in Mgmt Studio I get this -
The connection type "EXCEL" specified for connection manager
"{418DD599-C076-4CBC-8A52-60EF9684B965}" is not recognized as a valid
connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to
create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the
spelling in the connection type name.

Thanks

Peter Yang seems to have answered this in .tools. A reinstall of MDAC was
required. Please do not multi-post the same message.
