Create linked server in SQL 2005 from Excel spreadsheet and have primary key?

Is it possible to create a linked server from an Excel spreadsheet and give it a primary key? If so, how?

Thanks,

--Stan

This was for a Report Builder issue that I've resolved another way, but it's still an interesting question for other uses...

No, Excel has no idea of Primary Keys, using Report Builder you probably would create a logical primary key to accomplish the creation of relationships.
