Hi!
I have to develop an application for transfering data from an excel file into a sql table.The excel file is uploaded to a server.The database(and the table) is on another server.At first,I used openrowset for transferring data to the table.My sql command looked like this(in my asp page):
SQLstr = "SELECT * INTO dbo.shopping_TSR FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database="+Server.MapPath("upload/tmb2.xls")+";hdr=yes', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')"
I kept getting this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.]
After reading a few articles,I think the cause of my error is that the excel file is uploaded into the folder where the asp script is located.I have 2 servers : one running the asp scripts and one containing the database.
Is my error generated by the fact that the excel file is on a different server than the sql server?How could I make this work?
