As another option (if you work with Windows) you can check my
"xlsReadWrite" package (-> CRAN).

It should work very well in your case (it's not suited if you want to
use SQL (join) statements, but for plain data reading/writing it is
nice).

For both versions (free/pro) updates are pending. They should be
released by end of next week (but no guarantees).
