Read data from special format Excel with ASP

I need to read/extract data from an Excel file using ASP. However, the Excel
file is not in regular tabular format; instead, it is actually a form.
Therefore, it contains many checkbox and merged cells with data.

I have followed this web page's instruction
(http://www.haneng.com/Forums_Post.asp?id=4099) to read data out, but
whenever the cell has checkbox or it is a merged cell, it can't read the
data.

Is there anyway to read data from Excel file which contains checkbox and
merged cells? Thanks!

A suggestion

although your date is in a form and in textboxes, you could have a hidden
table in the excel sheet somewhere holding eth same data that would be
easier to use,
