The general reaction theory of Feshbach is applied to the calculation of resonant effects in near-threshold electron-positive-ion excitation. The theory divides configuration space into open- and closed-channel parts, resonance effects being described by the closed-channel part. The open-channel part is handled in a distorted-wave approximation to the set of open-channel coupled equations. Various methods are suggested for handling the closed-channel part. However, an 'attached-excited-target approximation' is used explicitly, which is further approximated by a set of uncoupled closed-channel equations. As an example, the 1 1S-2 1P excitation cross section of O VII below the 3 3S threshold is calculated. Various distorted-wave approximations are investigated and results from most of them are quite similar. Resonant effects arising from the attachment of the colliding electron with the 3 3S state are found to be small, but other close-lying n = 3 states have not yet been included.
