RODBC connect to Excel (64-bit Windows 7)

If you're using (R)ODBC, you need a workflow that is either 32bit or
64-bit, but not mixed.

On a 64-bit Windows 7 machine, I can use 32-bit R and RODBC to read
and write 32-bit Excel (etc) and similarly xlsreadwrite works 32-bit.

I can use 64-bit R and XLConnect to read and write from excel
spreadsheets that then open nicely in 32-bit Excel.

Just requires a little care to know whether your workflow is 32 or 64 bit.
