Hello All,

I am using an ASP script on my site that reads a microsoft excel file and adds the values to the database (MS SQL Server). The script works completely fine on my LOCAL server, but it shows me the following error when I upload it to the server and try to run it.

Code:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x1128 Thread 0x2268 DBC 0xd2d0fec Excel'.

/Bacardi/bblcontest/readexcel.asp, line 5

FYI, I am using the following connection string:

Code:

Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection") 
oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)}; DriverId=790;" &_ 
"DBQ=" & Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") & "upload-data\excel.xls;" &_ 
"DefaultDir = " &  Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") & "upload-data\"

I think Excel needs to be installed on the server in order for your ASP pages to make use of the driver.
