I am attempting to export a SQL table to a new excel sheet. My Excel VBA code follows:
strSQL = "SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Test.xls].[TestSheet] FROM dbo.tblTest"
conn.Execute strSQL, , adCmdText

I receive the following error message:
Specified owner name 'Excel 8.0;Database=C.\Test.xls'
either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.

I'm running Excel 2002, does that make a difference, or is it referring to SQL permissions?

Your code is attempting to create a SQL Server table called TestSheet with an owner of "Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Test.xls". You are getting the error because that owner does not exist.
