Hi -
We working with SQL Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) and installed Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe).
When I we run:
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 14.0; HDR=YES; Database=\\ServerName$\Quarterly Change\QCR\InputTables\OverrideCedantDescForSorting.xls'
'SELECT * FROM [OverRideCedantDesc$]')
We get the following error messages:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Could not find installable ISAM.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
We have successfully run the following stored procs but still get the above error message:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1
sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
