Linked Servers

  • I am trying to Link an Excel 2003 spreadsheet to a Enterprise Ed of SQL Server running Windows 2000 AS.

    I add the spreadsheet as a Linked server with the following configuration:

    linked server: TEST

    server Type: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLD DB Provider

    Product name: Excel

    Data Source: c:\temp\new.xls

    Security

    --------

    Be made without using a security context - CHECKED

    It then makes the connection and I can see the tables and views. When I click on the table in Enterprise manager i get:

    Error 7399: OLE DB provider 'microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.

    OLE DB Trace [OLE/DB Provider 'microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize returned 0x80004005: ].

    PLEASE HELP !!!

  • Put "Excel 5.0" in Provider string;

    Check RPC and RPC out in server option.

     

  • YOU GENIUS !!!!

    LUV YA !!!!
