I am attempting to create an excel data source for a file that is located on a Sql Server Filetable network share. When setting up the source, I receive a very nondescript error. If the file is placed on a system drive, there is no issue and the Excel application itself has no issue opening the file from the Filetable share. Attempting to diagnose the problem, I created a console app that attempts to load the workboook via the Jet driver. The error information is:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
Again, there is no issue here if the file is on a fixed drive. I have also tried mapping a drive to the share and get the same error. The only workaround I've found is to copy the file to a temp directory on a fixed drive, but this really isn't an acceptable solution.
Any ideas about what's causing this and how to resolve it?
