Checking for NamedRange in a worksheet in a closed workbook (using DAO connection)?

I'm using code supplied by JEC in this post which creates a "DAO.DBEngine.120" connection to an Excel workbook that can not be opened or it will crash the application. I am not at all familiar with data connections, and have no idea what I might be able to see in this closed file through this connection nor how to see it.

I'm wondering if, once I have the Sheet object through DAO, is there any way to see if that worksheet contains a particular named range? Or perhaps: I did use the zip file method on the "stubborn" file, and I can see an XML sheet that lists all the named ranges. Is it possible to access this XML list?

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
