Hi,

I am having a lot difficulty trying to get an Excel 2007 table import into a
SQL Server 2005 table. I have looked through the internet and cannot find any
help other than download software. The main problem is that I want the user
to be in the Excel and click a macro button to import the data.

My connection string seems to be working but I am getting an error on the
Select statement, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. The error I am getting
is : "OLE DB provider "Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)"
returned message "Unspecified error". The code I am using is:

Dim con As Object

Set con = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
con.Open _
("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ORLA-PCSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ExcelTest")
con.Execute _
"SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;Database=C:\Users\Orla\AppData\Local\Temp\Book1.xls;','select * from [Sheet1$]')"

Any help would be great, Thank you,
Orla
