| Hi, All! I am currently running SQL Server 2008 and using SQLCMD to execute some basic scripts on my local machine to update a db on a server. The goal is to insert records from an Excel file into a temp table. The connection to the server and DB works fine. And the execution of CREATE works fine. But the code below fails. It works fine when executed on my machine against a local DB. So, it is related to the remote DB. Based on googling this problem, I believe we must install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB driver and Office 2007 Data Connectivity Components on the server. But the IT team said no. I asked for clarification and just waiting for more info. Perhaps this approach creates a security concern? I've only been working with SQL Server for a month. Anyone have any thoughts? INSERT INTO [Database].[dbo].[tmpInvoiceHistory] ([InvoiceID], [InvoiceDate], [Amount], [ProfileID])SELECT AI.[InvoiceID], I.[InvoiceDate], I.[Amount], I.[ProfileID]FROM OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Excel 12.0;Database=C:\ClientName\Import.xlsx;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;','SELECT * FROM [InvoiceHistory$];') AS I;Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Server WLIDB16, Line 5The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" has not been registered. |

| I can't see the nature of the data in the EXcel spreadsehht but If your IT dept said no, there are a couple of other options:1) Export Excel to a text file , then complete the Import. Therefore using different drives2)Use Powershell on your laptop - which I'm assuming has the Excel drivers (or more likely to be alowed by IT dept) . That way you can connect to the spreadsheet and INSERT into the databaseJack Vamvas--------------------http://www.sqlserver-dba.com |

| Hi! Thanks so much for the replies and suggestions! In terms of the downloads of the MS Access Engine and 2007 Office Components, please note that I installed these on my laptop. Would these normally be required on the server side? I wasn't sure. Also, the idea about exporting to a text file and using a different driver is pretty smart, so I'm gonna check it out.Richard Goehring |

i think you should install it on server as OPENROWSET is executed from server------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

If you are executing the SQL server code on the SQL server Instance (regardless of where you are connecting from) and requiring usage of the drivers , then yes, you'll need them installed on the serverJack Vamvas--------------------http://www.sqlserver-dba.com |

| Hi, All! Once again, thanks for the replies!! The IT team had a rough release earlier this week, so I gave them some time to recover but now I'm going to request the drivers that are needed. Will let you know how it goes! LOLRichard Goehring |
