I am using the SQL managment studio to run the import wizard to get data from excel file (XlSX). I get the following error:
External table is not in the expected format. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
The excel file is not password protected and it was created in office 2003 (95% sure)
I have read articles suggesting missing drivers. I have installed all the following:
Microsoft Office version Download
2016 Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime
2013 Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime
2010 Microsoft Access 2010 Runtime
2007 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
Nothing of these worked for me. However; if I open the excel file, click save, close it and then import it using the wizard it works.
The problem is that I would like to automate this process. So opening 200 files, save them, and then close them is not an option.
My specs:
windows 10,
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.14393.0
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.14393.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.3.14393
The only thing that I found starnge here is the following:
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0.
Is this the correct value. If not, how do I update it?
This is my second day looking for a solution to this problem with no luck. If anyone could help.

Unable to create an Excel Source or Destination in VS. When attempting Excel 2007, then VS complains that ACE.OLEDB is not registered. When attempting Excel 97, VS complains about JET. The messages have not changed either before or after installing Access Database Engine end Microsoft Access Runtime 2010. Beginning to wonder if this is supported at all.
I made an application that uses VBA in order to read Excel 2013 sheets, and save data in Visual FoxPro tables. This app runs very fine in my computer, but when I run on another computer, issues this error: “Run time error 3706 Provider cannot be found, it may not be properly installed.” I installed, uninstalled, and back to install OLE DB Provider (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro, that comes with VFP SP2) and VFP runtime files (VFP 9 SP2), but error is issued again. Why does it happen? How can I solve that?
Both computers uses Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bits and Microsoft Office 2013 Professional 32 Bits.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Instead of using VBA and VFPOLEDB, simply use VFP and Microsoft.ACE.Oledb driver to read excel tables. You can check:

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 with MVC 3 Razor. I'm able to upload and save XLSB file, and I'm trying to read data from the uploaded XLSB. I have the below connection string and method to initialize the OleDbConnection:
strConStr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Projects\Excel1.xlsb;Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=True'";
OleDbConnection connExcel = new OleDbConnection(strConStr);
The error occur at connExcel.Open(). Below is the error message:
An exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in System.Data.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: This file was created in a previous beta version of Excel 2007. Open the file with Excel 2007 to save it to the most recent version of the Excel 2007 file format before opening the file in Access 2007.
I had AccessDatabaseEngine installed in my PC. In my control panel, I have the following installed engine info:
Name: Microsoft Office Access database engine 2007 (English)
,Size: 19.2 MB
,Version: 12.0.4518.1031
I'm not sure if this is the correct version to read XLSB file. My PC is x64 bit by the way.
My colleague also have the same type of Microsoft Office Access database engine 2007 installed in his PC but his version is "12.0.66XX", the code works fine on his side.
Please let me know if I need to install another version of Access Database Engine, or any other way to resolve this error.
I'm able to resolve this after a long studies and research.
Apart of the Microsoft Office Access database engine 2007 that is already installed in my machine, I also download and install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
After that, I need to download Microsoft Office Access Runtime and Data Connectivity 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) to install and then reboot my machine.
Everything work like magic afterwards.
And this is my working connection string:
strConStr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Projects\Excel1.xlsb;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0;HDR=True'";
I have a site developed in Microsoft Office SharePoint server 2007 and I have installed Microsoft office 2010 on my machine. When I try to access excel file stored in document library. It gives me an error saying that it requires a Windows SharePoint Services compatible application.
It was working fine when I have Microsoft office 2007. So I am confused whether SharePoint is compatible with office 2010 or not...?
Thanks
Sachin
Yes it is compatible and it should work. A number of things could be going on.
The OWSSUPP.DLL may not be registered correctly.
You could register it manually or reinstall
If you have the 64 bit version of office there are some known issues opening data in SharePoint.
http://www.knowsharepoint.com/2010/06/sharepoint-datasheet-view-and-office.html
Windows SharePoint Services Support files may not be installed.
in this case install these through Add/Remove programs. It's in the office tools section of the MS Office application.
If you have some applications that were part of Office 2003 or earlier you may need to uninstall them.
