Hello mark,

Thank you for reaching out, I tried all the syntax you suggested but all the results still did not display the data sets in excel worksheets this is what I got;

Your SYNTAX is correct so that shouldn't be the issue. 

Are the files in the LIBRARY the correct type for a V9 library?  Show us a file-list.

Not sure about the use of double backslash?  SAS does report the LIBREF is created.

Hello data_null,

the files in the Youssef library are;

CRF1.xlsx

CRF2.xlsx

CRF3.xlsx.

Those are not SAS data sets.  If you have the proper PC files software you can treat each XLSX as a data library where sheets and ranges are members. Something like this.

libname CRF1 excel 'D:\Users\patience.tubie\SAS Data Sets\CRF1.xlsx';

proc datasets library=CRF1;

     run;

     quit;

I don't know if that is exactly correct (RTM).  Bottom line is you don't have SAS data sets.
