    Hi all, is there anyone out ther, who fixed this issue?

    I've solved it before. In my case I was running SQL Server 2008 R2 64 bit and 32 bit version of MS Office. With the 32 bit version of Office installed, I could only install the 32 bit version of the ACE OLE DB provider. That mismatch (64 bit SQL and 32 bit Office) cause the error.

    In my case, I uninstalled the 32 bit office and installed 64 bit Office (including the 64 bit ACE OLE DB provider) and the issue went away.


    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
