Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 15.0.4569.1506
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 14.0.7015.1000
The versions of Excel:
2013 - 15.0.4753.1000 (32-bit)
2010 - 14.0.7145.5000 (32-bit)
I'm running Office 2013 & Office 2010 on my machine.
The problem I am having is as follows:
I have to open an xlsx file in a script task to reformat the data prior to feeding into a data flow. I've done this before without issue. I use the following code in my script task to open the file, create a connection, open and fill the dataset.
connectionString = "Data Source=" + Dts.Variables("stFlatFileConnString").Value.ToString + ";Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Extended Properties=" + Chr(34) + "Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=NO;IMEX=1" + Chr(34) + ";"
excelConnection = New OleDbConnection(connectionString)
'MsgBox("2a")
Dim SurveyRawDataQuerycmdExcel As New Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(SurveyRawDataQuery, excelConnection)
Dim theData As DataSet = New DataSet
'MsgBox("2b")
SurveyRawDataQuerycmdExcel.Fill(theData, "TheData") If I DO NOT uncomment the message boxes, the fill fails with "External table is not in the expected format" error. However, if IDO uncomment the message boxes, it runs just fine. I can't/don't want to keep the message boxes. What is causing this and what can I do to get this to work?
