Excel File As A Linked Server
Apr 25, 2000
I am trying to link an excel file as a linked server. I tried two methods unsuccessfully.
first: using
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Ex',
'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c:list5.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 5.0'
GO
When I run
EXEC sp_tables_ex Ex, I get the error below.
Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]
Second: I link the excel file using ODBC datasource:
EXEC sp_tables_ex mylink, works fine with mylink being the linked server name. I get the table names eg. table1$, table2$.... However when I try to query the tables, I get this error:
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.
thanks

I have a 3rd party dashboard application that I can only use SQL authenticated logins to connect to the database.
I'm trying to create a query within the application that will directly access an excel file through a linked server.
As a test, I login to SSMS as the sql auth user to run the linked server query below but the following error is returned:
select *
from Corporate...[Sheet1$]OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate".
When I login as a Windows auth user, I can successfully run the above query.
I noticed within the linked server's security definition that I cannot specify a windows auth user as the mapped Remote User or as the Remote login
I've tried creating a Credential object with the identity of the windows user and assign that object to the sql auth user but to no avail. I still get the same error
I am using SQL Server express so the option of an automated server agent job to import the excel file is not available.
Details:
SQL Server Express 2012
Office version: Excel 10
Provider: Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

I had SQLDMO at reference library.
Private Sub test()
Dim s As SQLDMO.SQLServer
Dim ls As SQLDMO.LinkedServer
Set s = New SQLDMO.SQLServer
s.Connect "Server1", "ID", "Password"
Set ls = New SQLDMO.LinkedServer
With ls
.Name = "Server2"
.ProviderName = "SQLOLEDB"
.DataSource = "Server2"
' .ProviderString = ""
End With
s.LinkedServers.Add ls
s.Close
'End Sub
I block ProviderString as i don't know what is it.
I got an error message when it's running the line "s.LinkedServers.Add ls" that
"Run-time error '-2147206257 (80043b8f)':
Automation error"
My question:
1. What is providerstring? what should be put here?
2. How to fix the error

We have been having problems getting a linked server to an excel file
working with an UNC path. If the UNC path is to the SQL server itself
it will work but not if the UNC path is to another server.
The SQL server 2000 SP 4 processes are running under a domain id and we
can logon interactively with that same login id and we can access the
excel file via the same UNC path.
We have tried it with setting up a linked server and also linking to it
'on the fly':
SELECT *
FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source="\AnotherServerUNCpathexcel.xls";User
ID=Admin;Password=;Extended properties=Excel 5.0')...sheet1$
go
The message we are getting is the following:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. The
provider did not give any information about the error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not
give any information about the error.].
It appears from reading Microsoft's documentation and other topics that
this should be possible. Any ideas on what we are missing?

I am trying to set up a linked server in SQL Server 2005 to link to an excel spreadsheet.
-I am selecting Jet 4.0 as the provider
-Product name is Excel
-Data Source is the path on our network to the excel file: N:Devon 5403 4.0 Engineering4.01 ProcessLinelistIFCLDT Field.xls
-Provider String is Excel 8.0
-Security | Login not defined is set to Be made using the login's current security context.
The Excel file is an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. The worksheet is titled Pages
I have a query window open in SQL Server Management Studio and the following is my select statement:
SELECT * FROM DEVON_LINE_LIST...Pages$
I get the following error message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST" reported an error. Authentication failed.
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 "DEVON_LINE_LIST".
I get similar error messages no matter which security settings I pick.
Any thought as to what I can try to get this to work?

Hello,
I have attempted to set up a linked server to an Excel 2003 workbook, and I get an OLEDB error when I attempt to query against it. Some notes about the workbook;
-It has one worksheet in it named 'Add Revenue Accts'.
-The name of the workbook is 'Revenue_to_All_Accounts.xls'
-Its location is \cdnbwfin1dataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_Accounts
I have the linked server configured as follows;
-Linked Server; REVENUE_TO_ALL_ACCOUNTS
-Provider; Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
-Data Source; \cdnbwfin1dataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_AccountsRevenue_to_All_Accounts.xls
-Provider String; Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\Cdnbwfin1DataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_AccountsRevenue_to_All_Accounts.xls;Persist Security Info=False
When I attempt the following query;
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(REVENUE_TO_ALL_ACCOUNTS, 'SELECT * FROM [Add Revenue Accts$]')
The following message appears, and no results are returned;
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Unspecified error]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
I have Googled this error, but I have not found anything that really points to what the problem might be. What could be the problem?
Thank you for your help!

Hello all-
I configured an Excel document as a Linked Server importing into SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. I run a query like this to set up the desired database:
Use Num1DBase
GO
SELECT * INTO Num1Table FROM LINKSERV1...[Sheet1$]
However, my production Excel document has many, many sheets with spaces in the title [Sheet 2$] that results in this error:
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "LINKSERV1" does not contain the table "Sheet 2$". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
All I can think of right now is manually going in and removing the spaces from the worksheet names so the query works. Is there a more programmatic way for me to deal with this?
Thanks, MHY

I can run the following from the SQL server with no problem.

I'm trying to set up a linked server as in the article
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/10894_3085211_3
I use the following SQL to set up a linked server with Excel and attempt to retrieve data. The c: empauthors.xls is downloaded from the second page of the article above.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'EXCEL',
'Excel',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c: empauthors.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 8.0',
NULL
GO
SELECT * FROM EXCEL...Sheet1$
GO
The query sets up the linked server OK, and retrieves the field names, but no data is returned. The results in Management Studio are a list of column names:
au_id au_lname au_fname phone address city state zip
contract
then an error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EXCEL" returned message "Unknown".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT `Tbl1002`.`au_id` AS `Col1004`,`Tbl1002`.`au_lname` AS `Col1005`,`Tbl1002`.`au_fname` AS `Col1006`,`Tbl1002`.`phone` AS `Col1007`,`Tbl1002`.`address` AS `Col1008`,`Tbl1002`.`city` AS `Col1009`,`Tbl1002`.`state` AS `Col1010`,`Tbl1002`.`zip` AS `Col1011`,`Tbl1002`.`contract` AS `Col1012` FROM `Sheet1$` `Tbl1002`" for execution against OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EXCEL".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I'm using Windows Authentication to connect to a SQL server (9.0.3054) instance on localhost, and am running from a test database query window.
Thanks!

I have an Excel sheet that is dynamically updated (through DDE) and I want to import this data to a table in SQL Server 2005. Using SQL Server Management Studio to configure an Excel data source as a linked server.
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306397/EN-US/)
Following the first 5 steps should let me acces the table (but I cannot view the data in SQL Server 2005). However, I could not find how to export the data into an existing table. Does anyone know how or can give a pointer to document describing how to do this?

What: I am trying to import data from spreadsheets to SQL Server.
Where: Windows Vista, SQL Server 2005 Express, Office 2007.
How: Using linked servers following KB306397.
In SQL Management Studio Express, I created a new Linked Server as follows, with everything else at default:
Linked server: XLSX
Provider: Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider
Product name: XLSX
Data source: D:XLSX.xlsx
Provider string: Excel 12.0
The linked server was created ok.
I then followed KB321686 and ran this:
select * from OPENQUERY(XLSX, 'Select * From [Sheet1$]')
and got this:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX".
But if I ran: select * from OPENQUERY(XLSX, 'Select * From [nonexistent$]')
the error is:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot process the object "Select * From [nonexistent$]". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
It seems that there is an access rights problem if I get the sheet name correct. May I know what I must do to get this to work. I have already given read/write rights to the spreadsheet to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$servername$SQLEXPRESS.
From the same KB article, I also tried:
select * from XLSX...[Sheet1$]
but got this:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX".
Help help.
Thanks.

I was using linked servers to import Excel spreadsheets into SQL Server Express 2005. This worked fine with Windows XP and Office 2003.
I have just migrated all my stuff to Vista and Office 2007. Linked servers just can't be created:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
------------------------------
"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XXX".
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XXX" returned message "Unspecified error". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3042&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7303&LinkId=20476
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
&Yes
&No
------------------------------
The parameter values I used are:
Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
Product name: Excel
Data source: D:...somelocalfile.xls
Provider string: Excel 8.0
I gave full access rights to the Data source file and folder to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MOZART$SQLEXPRESS where mozart is my PC name.
If I change Data source or Provider string to some garbage string, the exact same error message appears. So it appears the error might be in the Provider?
Help help please.

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Linked Server File DSN?
Can anyone help? I am trying to connect a Domino Server with the NotesSQL ODBC.
I was unable to set the ODBC up as a System DSN ('The setup routines for the
Lotus NotesSQL Driver (*.nsf) ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error
code 126') and had to set it up as a file DSN.
Can I still set up a Linked Server to it? I keep getting errors:
'7399 Invalid Connection String attribute]
(not sure what I was supposed to enter in the 'Product String' dialog box)
Datasource name not found and no default driver specified]....'
The file DSN was setup OK. I know this because I can use it as a connection in
DTS and successfully import various tables (although it does not work with the
import wizard?)
Does anyone know if I can use the file DSN to setup a linked server?
If so, what do I put in the 'provider string' and 'catelog' dialogs.
Any help much appreciated. wyatt.anderson@nwmhp.nhs.uk

I upgraded my 2008 R2 instance to 2012 and the Linked Server I use for aconnect to a csv file stopped working.
Create script:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server ='Stats_CA',
@srvproduct='',
@provider ='Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
@datasrc='D:RLAPPSStatsStats_CA',
@provstr='Text'
Error message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Stats_CA" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Stats_CA".
I uninstalled and reinstalled the AccessDatabaseEngine - no change.
The provider is displayed, so it's not that.
I verified temp and csv location folder permissions
I tried the -g512 startup option
The csv has a schema.ini as required
It was an 'in place' upgrade, so nothing else has change.

Here is my Problem:
1. I have sql 2008 R2 running on my LocalHost.
2. Created Data Base [Customer].
3. Created Linked Server [CUSTOMERLINK] USING Microsoft Jet 4.0 to link to Drive F:Data which has DBF files in it.
4. Create dbo.Customer_Upload Table.
5. INSERT INTO [Customer].[dbo].[Customer_UpLoad]
([Name],[Email])
SELECT
NAME,EMAIL
FROM [CUSTOMERLINK]...[CUS]
All this works fine. I can even put it in to an After Insert Trigger on another table and it works.
My problem is that I need this to work in a scheduled job.
F:Data is just a folder with files in it.
This info is from a Restaurant POS system and I need to update it every night.
I have tried every which way to to setup the security issue as there isn't any login security on the folder and SqlServerAgent wants security.

Hi
I am having an Access database on a shared network drive which has read/write access rights on the that shared network drive.
When I try to Access data through the linked server it gives me gives me a message box saying you do not have permissions to view the data.
Also if i try to use xp_cmdshell to copy over the mdb file to my local drive it say 'Access denied'
But when I copy (through command prompt) the same file to another network drive or my local drive where I have full control the linked server can connect sucessfully.
The problem is the i cannot have 'full control' permissions on shared drive where my database resides.
Has anybody encountered this problem....
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

How does one create a linked server to an Access 2007 (accdb) file? I am aware that to create one to a mdb file, the code would be -EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'SEATTLE Mktg',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:MSOfficeAccessSamplesNorthwind.mdb'
GO
What is the corresponding code for Access 2007 accdb files?

Hi All,
I have this very big text file (2.5 GB - which of course I am not able to open). This resides on a server which has SQL 2005.
I have created a linked server for this text file on my SQL database, and when I try to query the table, I get an error:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "txtsrv".
Why am I getting this error? When I make a dummy linked server on my local machine and test the steps it all works OK. but when I go to this server where the file and it's SQL instance is lying, I get this error. Please can someone provide me with some help on this?
Many thanks,
~S
P.S. Here is how I created the linked server (I also have the Schema.ini lying under the same folder):
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver txtsrv, 'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:SSAnalysis',
NULL,
'Text'
GO

I need to find a way to upload an Excel file into an MS SQL databaseusing a web control front end. I have my ASP.Net control (using C#)uploading a file to a directory, but the server people now tell me thatI cannot have a writeable area for the web and have a DTS see it as thisis too much of a security risk. So, I need a way to read the filedirectly into the database. I've no idea how to do this. Does anyonehave ideas? I know loading MS Office into the web server is out of thequestion. The webserver and database server are not the same physicalmachine.Thanks.

I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha
