working couple days ago, but it is giving me error now. It is same error on
2 different machines. Please help.

Code......

Dim sList, strConnToExcel As String

Dim connectionObj As New OleDbConnection

Dim oCmd As New OleDbDataAdapter

Dim oDS As New DataSet



'OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

strConnToExcel = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\TEST2.XLS;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0; HDR=NO;"

sList = "test"



connectionObj.ConnectionString = strConnToExcel

oCmd = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" + sList + "$]",
connectionObj)

Try

oCmd.Fill(oDS)

Catch ex As Exception

End Try





Thanks,

You need to be careful with the syntax when using additional Extended Properties:

ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\TEST2.XLS;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""

Hi TheOne,

Just as Paul mentioned, the Extended Properties has to be put in the
quotes, it's the syntax of connection string. If the syntax is incorrect,
it will look for another driver, and gives Could not find installable ISAM
exception.
