You can get sheet1 name like this and use in this manner.If you want to get other sheet names you can increase value from 0,1,2..

    Dim Sheets As DataTable = myExcelConn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, Nothing)
                Sheet1 = Sheets.Rows(0)("TABLE_NAME").ToString()
  Dim objOleDB As New OleDbCommand("SELECT *FROM [" + Sheet1 + "]", myExcelConn)
