How To Use OleDb To Create Excel Database

Question

My task is to take an Access Database and create an Excel file, but I can not seem to CREATE the Excel file that OleDb will use.

The Excel file name

Answer 1

I found a working solution, just remove IMEX parameter like this :

string connString = String.Format(
    "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};" + 
    "Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR={1}\"",
    file,
    (containsHeader ? "Yes" : "No")
);

When I tried Excel 12.0, it creates a file but I cannot open it in Excel Application.

Anyway, this stuff works for XLS files.
