Yes. When a file is opened it is exclusively locked by the user/system. So it should be closed at the time of running a query that is accessing the EXCEL file

Hi ,
I want to export sql server 2005 table to excel 2003(windows 7).
i used this query:
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET(‘Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0′, ‘Excel 8.0;Database=C:\n\testing.xls;’, ‘SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]‘)
SELECT * FROM dlr_master
All column names in both sql server table and excel file are same.
Excel file is not open.
Path is perfect.

Still I m getting the error,
Cannot Initialize Datasource Object Of OLEDB Provider “Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0″ for Linked server “(null)”

I feel its Windows 7 platform thats creating a conflict because this query runs well on Windows Xp.
Please suggest the right query and versions required

Thanks

Hi madhivanan,

Thanks for your support

I tried this one but it showing the same issue as :

OLE DB provider “Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0″ for linked server “(null)” returned message “Cannot update. Database or object is read-only

But i saw the file by Right-Clicking and its properties

and it is not a read only Mode

moreover in the excel file(Test.xls) i added four column names in first line as
and No records for that is it right?

———————————————————-
Id User Name Password User Type
———————————————————-

So Plz give some suggestions to fix this issue

Thanks in Advance

For MS Office versions 2010 onwards you need to use ACE provider

Make sure the server has Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider

By: madhivanan

madhivanan — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:18:39 +0000

Try this

alter procedure [dbo].[SP_ExportExcelFromSql]
as
begin
insert into OPENROWSET(‘Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0′,
‘Excel 8.0;IMEX=0;Database=F:\SARAVANA\Test.xls;’,
‘SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]‘) select * from usermas
end
