Installing an Excel Driver

[Jose Luis Sogorb]

Hi, I need to install (MICROSOFT EXCEL DRIVER (*.xls) in a computer with win98. Anybody knows what files do I need or when can I get information about it? My program uses : sSql.Format("DRIVER={%s};DSN='';FIRSTROWHASNAMES=1;READONLY=TRUE;CREATE_DB=\"%s\";DBQ=%s", sDriver, sExcelFile, sExcelFile); where sDriver must be MICROSOFT EXCEL DRIVER

Jet 4.0[^] is what you need, I believe. Paul Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see - Led Zeppelin, Misty Mountain Hop

Ok, thank you. But if I want to redistribute my app, is there an easier way to do it? I don't want to force to the user to download Jet4.0 , is it not possible to install only excel driver easily? Thanks.

You probably can find a way to isolate the Excel files and registry entries but it really isn't recommended.
