If I remember correctly, in 7.6 you need ODBC and define a range on the XL sheet.

Pooja,

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools
System DSN
Add
Microsoft Excel drive
Choose EXCEL sheet
!! Remember your EXCEL must have fieldnames in first line and a named range must be defined !!
Then create the master using ODBC interface of WF.
Good luck!
