You need to use the right driver on 2010 vs the older one for earlier

Okay, the above works fine on my machine. The only thing is, it
pops up
and asks for a DNS. I select Excel and it works fine. I
installed the
update on my customer and it popped up asking for a DNS and I
couldn't
find one on their machine. Where would the above driver be
installed on
the computer and why does the above command not work? Do I need to
install something?
Jeff,
Is the customers machine a 64-bit OS?
Is your machine a 32-bit OS?

1 = lnsqlhandle = SQLSTRINGCONNECT("Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver
(*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)}; DBQ=" + lcspreadsheet + ";")
2 = lnsqlhandle =
SQLSTRINGCONNECT([Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=] +
lcspreadsheet + [;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=NO";])
Latest Excel is 2007
1 and 2 both work on my 64 bit Windows 8 machine but 2 pops up and
asks for a DSN which points to other spreadsheets but it works.
Only Excel is 2013
1 does not work on the customer 64 bit machine Windows 8 and returns
a -1
2 asks for a DSN of which there is none, so it doesn't work
I read in my travels that you can use 1 with exporting xlxs to DBF
and it works on mine.
Any ideas?
By the way, here is the excel.dns that makes the Ace driver work:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Driver do Microsoft Excel(*.xls)
UID=admin
UserCommitSync=Yes
Threads=3
SafeTransactions=0
ReadOnly=1
PageTimeout=5
MaxScanRows=8
MaxBufferSize=2048
FIL=excel 8.0
DriverId=790
DefaultDir=O:\PINKERTON\SPREADSHEETS
DBQ=O:\PINKERTON\SPREADSHEETS\Medicare HICS.xls
The last two entries have nothing to do with the spreadsheets I am
attempting to import.
This is a mature application that I delivered last week. One of the
features is to be able to populate the database with historical
information from Excel spreadsheets. The application works fine but
they can't use it until the historical data is loaded. I have been
trying (thanks to your help) everything for five days and I am no closer
to a solution. I can't imagine what my customer is thinking but I can
guess.
Thanks again to Microsoft for Office 2013!
I will take Tracy's advice and see what version of Office they are using.
Thanks,
