Hello comunity
On SQL server 2008 most of the time i have used a linkedserver to access excel file with this script:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ExcelDataSource',
@srvproduct=N'ExcelData', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
@datasrc=N'C:\Invoice\teste.xls',
@provstr=N'EXCEL 12.0' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelDataSource', 'false';
GO
and finally the query:
SELECT *
FROM ExcelDataSource...[folha1$];
Now on sql server 2012, after install the provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
IF i run test connection , i have this error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
The test connection to the linked server failed.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "ExcelDataSource". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)

If i run the Select statment, i have this one:
Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "ExcelDataSource".
Someone could me some help to solve this issue.
