Hello to you,

I'm using Windows 7, 64 Bit, Installed Stimulsoft Report .NET 2013

When running designer.exe to design report
I choose for New Connection then OleDB Connection

The problem is The Data Link didn't shown Microsoft.Jet.4.0 Provider or Microsoft.ACE.12
I want to makes connection into Excel data file.

But If I using another PC installed Windows XP 32 Bit, also installed Stimulsoft Report .NET 2013, the Data Link can shown Microsoft.Jet.4.0 Provider or Microsoft.ACE.12

Please help, How?

Thanks in advance

Steven

Hello,

Please try to use the following connection string for OleDb Connection:

Code: Select all

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";
or

Code: Select all

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\myFolder\myExcel2007file.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES";
Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

If I forcing to write the connection string as you suggest
The error messages from Designer.EXE
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

Thanks & Regards,
Steven
