  Hi,

  I need to update a pivot table that resides on a Microsoft Excel worksheet.

  I created a stored procedure dbo.USP_DMO_EXCEL_Pivot_RefreshTable(link: http://www.ugiss.org/Content/Article/Aggiornare-una-tabella-pivot-di-Microsoft-Excel.aspx) that uses OLE Automation (sp_OA*) to refresh, every night (without open the Excel file), the pivot table data in Microsoft Excel worksheet.

  The stored procedure works well in this enviroment:

  - OS Windows Server 2003

  - Office 2003

  - SQL Server 2008

  The stored procedure does not work with:

  - OS Windows Server 2008 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit

  - Office 2007

  - SQL Server 2008 64-bit

  The pivot table connecting to SQL Server with an ODBC connection (32 bit).

  The Excel file will open correctly, bit I get an error during execution method "RefreshTable" in the following line of code:

  Exec sp_OAMethod @objWorkSheet PivotTables('Pivot_Name').RefreshTable

  The execution of stored procedures will not be completed, the only way (to stop it) is to interrupt forcefully the task "EXEC.EXE *32".

  When I forced to close the task, in SSMS I get the following error:

  -2146827284 Unable to find Microsoft Office Excel PivotTables property for the class Worksheet. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\1040\0 XLMAIN11.CHM

  Message 50000, Level 16, State 1, Server <name> USP_DMO_Excel_Pivot_RefreshTable procedure, line 369

  Whilst Error: Return object workbooks, Could not find property PivotTables for Class Worksheet

  I also installed the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7554f536-8c28-4598-9b72-ef94e038c891&displaylang=en) but without improvement.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks a lot!

  I am finally able to update a PivotTable test that resides on a Microsoft Excel worksheet.

  The last test I've run on a PC with Windows 7 Professional x64 x64 SS2008 and Excel 2007.

  After install the updated Office 2007 Data Connectivity Components http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7554F536-8C28-4598-9B72-EF94E038C891&displaylang=en I have recreated the PivotTable and test... but this time I checked, as a data source, type "Microsoft Office Data Connection" and not the ODBC 32-bit...

  Thanks
