The following will export to a comma delimited file:

Dim ConnectionStrin g As String

ConnectionStrin g = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\Test Files\Book20.xl s;Extended Properties=Exce l 8.0;"

Dim ExcelConnection As New System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbConnect ion(ConnectionS tring)
ExcelConnection .Open()

Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT * INTO [Text;DATABASE=C :\Documents and Settings\...\My
Documents\My Database\Text].[ReportSheet.txt] FROM [ReportSheet$]"

Dim ExcelCommand As New System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbCommand (SQLString, ExcelConnection )
ExcelCommand.Ex ecuteNonQuery()

ExcelConnection .Close()

This usually occurs when there is a syntax error in the connection string. You may want to post it
if you're still having an issue.

Hi, I have an unusual problem that just showed its ugly head at a pretty bad time. I have an asp.net (VB) app that takes data from an Excel sheet and puts it into SQL Server. I get the data out of Excel using OleDB, and suddenly, some of the data was not being extracted from Excel. I use OleDb for the extract into a DataTable and from there an SqlClient.SqlCommand to put it into SQL Server.
