    Check name of driver in ADO string.

    you can use "open file for" method with split() function.

    Hi,

    Based on my research, I want to confirm that whether you have a 64 bit OS so trying to use a 64 bit ODBC Data Source Admin with a 32 bit application.

    If it is, then the resolutionis that use a 32bit ODBC Data Source Admin.

    Hi,

    it took me a while to understand the issue - but here is the solution:

    32-Bit Excel needs 32-Bit ODBC-Adminstrator odbcad32.exe which lives in C:\Windows\SysWOW64

    64-Bit Excel needs 64-Bit ODBC-Adminstrator odbcad32.exe which lives in C:\Windows\System32

    We should not discuss neither the identical names of different files nor the misleading naming of a directory named something32 but contains 64-Bit-software.
