Hi guys,
I'm trying to run this query on my machine remotely accessing our database using ssms. My laptop is 64 bit.
"select * from OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0; IMEX=1;Database=\\192.162.1.13\data\data.xls', 'select * from [data$]' )"
but I'm getting this error:
"Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
**It executed successfully when I run it on our database server.
Database server is 32 bit.
Excel version I'm trying to import is 2003.
Any ideas why I'm getting the error when I run it on my machine?
Thank you in advance for your help!
