    <p>I am attempting to run the below statement:</p> <pre><code>INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0; Database=//server/folder/file.xls; HDR=YES;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') </code></pre> <p>However, I am receiving the below error:</p> <pre><code>OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '\\server\folder\file.xls'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)". </code></pre> <p>I am running SQL Server 2005 on a 32 bit machine. The code being executed will eventually be from c# code behind on a IIS6 web server. However, currently I'm just trying to get it to run on the SQL Server. I'm logged into the SQL Server using SQL Auth, but the file must be accessed using Windows Auth specific to the share drive (an AD account on our network). Ad-Hoc priveleges have been given to the SQL Auth account in order to allow <code>OPENROWSET</code>.</p> <p>I have tried adding <code>UID=user;PASS=pswd</code> into the <code>OPENROWSET</code> code as below:</p> <pre><code>INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0; Database=//server/folder/file.xls; HDR=YES; UID=user; PASS=pswd', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') </code></pre> <p>This yielded the same error. I also set up an SQL <code>CREDENTIAL</code> with the user id and pass of the windows auth Active Directory account with access to that share drive, but the error remained.</p> <p>I considered using a proxy, but this isn't an sql server agent job. It's an adhoc call.</p> <p>I have also logged into the SQL Server using Windows Auth with a user that has rights to the share, and get the same error.</p> <p>I've researched this a lot, but can't seem to find an answer that works. Through my searches, it seems to be a problem many people have. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.</p>

    1. COPlease provide information about server operating system. Is it a 32 or 64bit architecture? Have you installed proper OleDb drivers? Where are you trying to execute above query: on server side on local computer?

    2. CO@MaciejLos It is a 32bit architecture. OleDb works fine without using the share drive, as stated, so I know those drivers are working fine. Also noted above, I will eventually execute from C# code running as CodeBehind on a webserver. For now, however, I simply want this to work when I run a general SQL adhoc query logged on using SQL Server Auth. I am running management studio to run the query.

CO[MSDN wrote:](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175915.aspx) To use BULK INSERT or INSERT...SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...) to bulk import data from another computer, the data file must be shared between the two computers. To specify a shared data file, use its universal naming convention (UNC) name, which takes the general form, \\Servername\Sharename\Path\Filename. Additionally, **the account used to access the data file must have the permissions that are required for reading the file on the remote disk**.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
