The error is pretty self-explanatory. " Data source name not found and no default driver specified".

When you call DriverManager.getDrivers() , what is returned in your list ?

The error message seems to be -at least partially- off-topic: no data source name is needed, as this is the DSN-less form of ODBC connection.

Apparently "{Microsoft Excel Driver (*xl, *.xls)}" is not recognized. Try "{Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)}" instead.
