Pointing to xls location issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.pointing to a directory for a file location that is not in the same location 
as where my .php file is located.
2.example: 
$data = new 
Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader("S:\\BFPIX\\COREASSPROC\\200-104133-010-20100702-01.xls
",true);
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect it to point to a new S drive location for the file. however it 
considers the entire directory as a filename 
The filename S:\BFPIX\COREASSPROC\200-104133-010-20100702-01.xls is not readable
