The problem is with the "Extended Properties" not having a blank between the
two words.
Using your code (with the exception of a string fileName_Text instead of
fileName.Text),
the connection will not fail if "Extended Properties" is used in the
Connection string instead of "ExtendedProperties".
Please report your results of this.

news:Xn***********************@24.94.170.88... Hi,
I've been trying to open an Excel connection through OLEDB with the code
below:
string ConnectString =@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data
Source=" + fileName.Text + ";ExtendedProperties=Excel 8.0;";
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection();
conn.ConnectionString = ConnectString;
conn.Open();
This throws the Exception "Could not find installable ISAM"
I've verified that msexcl40.dll exists in c:\windows\system32 and have
even re-registered it. No luck - please help:)
TIA
aacool
