Reading Excel

[sc5502]

I have never read an Excel file and populate a datagridview. Here is my code

  Try
 
 
            Dim path As String = "C:\\Users\\test\\Desktop\\Event_Logs\\system.xlxs"
            Dim MyConnection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
            Dim DataSet As System.Data.DataSet
            Dim MyCommand As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
            MyConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection _
                ("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & path & ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;")
            MyCommand = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from [system$]", MyConnection)
 
 
            DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
            MyCommand.Fill(DataSet)
            DataGridView1.DataSource = DataSet.Tables(0)
 
            MyConnection.Close()
 
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
        End Try
 
 

When the code is executed the

 MyCommand.Fill(DataSet)

causes the Catch ex as Exception to display

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException (0x80004005): Cannot update. Database object is read-only.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
