I set the TypeGuessRows registry value to 0 in this location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access Connectivity Engine\Engines\Excel
Is that the correct location where it would be set when creating excel files through SSIS 2012 using the ACE driver like this one:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\myfile.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0 XML;HDR=YES;IMEX=1";
I'm still having problems with fields over 255 characters and thought maybe that I had set TypeGuessRows in the wrong location.
Thanks
