Not supported, sorry (I put it on the list).
x = read.xls( "D:\\file.xls", colClasses = c( rep( NA , 2 ),"isodate", rep(
NA, 9 ) ) ) should work. But you still have to know the total number of
columns. (The pro version does have a xls.info command and/or you could read
in just the first row and check its content).
