It's not the VFP ODBC driver you need installed; it's the Office ODBC driver(s). I don't think that gets installed by default with Office but I could be wrong as I haven't installed Office in quite some time. You have to dive into the advanced installation stuff, iirc.

Now it works with the below connection string with one slight problem lnsqlhandle = SQLSTRINGCONNECT([Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source="Excel.dsn"; DBQ=] + lcspreadsheet + [; Extended Properties="Excel 8.0; HDR=YES";]) The Data Source must be incorrect because a window pops up and says select data source. I select Excel.dsn and it works. <rant>I can't believe the amount of time spent getting things to work on Windows 8 that worked fine on Windows 7! ODBC, Remote Desktop, simple network connections. Sheesh!</rant> -- Jeff _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD04422A73C41A7@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
