Are Access and Excel File Definitions Available

I currenlty do most of my processing in SAS and
frequently convert files to either .mdb or .xls using
SAS's export functions. However, there are some problems
with the export functions.
In the past, I've had layouts of .dbf and have built the
files directly from SAS. Was wondering if anyone has
the .mdb and .xls file layouts so that I can build these
files directly from SAS also. Thanks.

No. These are Microsoft trade secrets and are not publicly documented.

For Access in particular, the mapping between SAS and relational
tables is at best a rather remote and tenuous one!
