It took the form of an OLEDB driver that allowed reading from and writing to Excel files, as well as Access format files. Note that this download does not require you to install the entire Office suite. Note also that it comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. It is very important that you match the 32-bit or 64-bit version to the architecture of the host process that will access the file(s). In our case, the host process was SSIS. | |

It sometimes is not able to retrieve a cell value just because it couldn't understand the format. It doesn't have a delete operation. It works totally different and unpredictable even with a slightest provider change. I'd say go for a proven commercial solution. | |

| Sep 29, 2009 at 9:02 | comment | added | dbkk | Be very careful with this -- it's a big ugly cludge (for example, sometimes it guesses a column type and discards all the data that does not fit). | |
| Jun 16, 2009 at 7:31 | comment | added | Chris Richner | I've just tested this connection and it failed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 RC, seems like one have to install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components [microsoft.com/downloads/… | |
| Sep 30, 2008 at 1:45 | comment | added | Lamar | Can someone confirm if this works when running in x64? I am pretty sure Jet only works if your app is compiled or running in 32-bit mode. | |
