I am going to give up, I'm afraid.
I don't know why you would get any sort of 'workgroup information file' error when opening an Excel file (because I thought only Access had those).
One last thing. Can you post the entire connection string for the Excel workbook?

I'm not sure how much it matters, but I think the conn string extended properties should contain 'XML', as follows:
Data Source=C:\test\Test_Import.xlsx;Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0 XML";
(I often refer to https://www.connectionstrings.com/excel/ when sussing out the correct connection string to use with Excel.)
