this is a reference to the thread:he problem I was having while loading data into a datagrid from Excel is solved when I have changed the connection string property IMEX to 1 in:
HTML
con = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & filename & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;""")

I am having a problem using ACE. I am on Windows 7 64 bit and I am using Visual Studio 2010. I have inherited a program that needs to be converted from using JET to ACE as more and more users could not use it on their new computers. All this little application does is sort data according to selected fields and then insert blank lines whenever the data changes. It worked fine with Jet built in VS 2005.
Line 32 is where I am getting trouble. I get one of two error when I get to this point "IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_FAIL(0x80004005) when targeting any CPU. I found suggestions from people on the web to target X86 in the advanced compile options but then I get 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered. This I think is due to the system looking for the 32 bit version of ACE but I am using the 64 bit.
When reading through the code the line da.Fill(dt) is underlined with the comment "Variable 'da' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime." This confuses me as I declare it at the top and it gets used in the if the statement. The only reason for the underline I can see is that there is no option in case the incoming data is not from csv,xls or xlsx but since the open file dialog doesn't allow for anything else that shouldn't matter.

am trying to load data from an excel worksheet & its really giving me headache. A particular column contains both string and numeric data. its picking only the numeric data & loading the string data as blank entries. I tried checking what may be wrong, i think i saw a documentation that says Excel scans the first 8 rows of a column & determines it data type.plz, how can i load everything on the sheet (i can get everything as string, but i dont want to lose any entry)

I am trying to load contents of an Excel file in a datagrid. The data in the Excel file is arranged in rows and columns. Every column has a column header. Now here is the anomaly. For some reason when I put a less than sign (<) before some of the values in the last column, the values become blank before they are loaded into the data grid. This behavior is not observed when the less than sign is put into the other columns. More strangely the values are retained in the datagrid even if the the < is put before the values of the first few rows of the last columns within the Excel file. I used the following code in loading data into the Excel file:
Dim con As OleDbConnection
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet

im trying to pick up Visual basic on my own with no friends/family that have any programming experience.. I'm struggling (surprise surprise)Heres what I'm trying to do...I have 1 combo box, It will list product names.. Lets say 15 of them.. (I know 15 i could just as easily specify them individually within VB.. but lets assume I NEED to read them from an excel file.(Excel 2003)
Part 1 :Really all i need to know for now, is how do I load an excel worksheet into VB so I can call data up from the cells / rows / columns..
Part 2 : How do I define Which Cells from Each row or column I want to populate into the combo box... Presuming for the "Product name" combobox I have placed each of the 15 product names in the excel file under Row 1, column A through Row 15 , Column A.I want to avoid this and just call the xls file into VB. (Excel will be installed on any computer running this application if that matters. )
i want to binding excel data to a datagrid without no header, just the data.for example :my excel files consist of 3x3 matriks data in 3x3 excel cell like this
1 2 3

and i want to show all this data on data grid i have tried with some code like this
Dim MyCommand As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet
MyConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _

but the first row of that data ( 1 2 3 ) is not shown up in the datagrid, just the 2nd and the 3rd row that shown up in datagrid?
I have been given the below form but here i cant understand the use of this checkbox named LoanCredit card number.I am told that when user checks it then all master data will be displayed. does it mean that when i am entering some data in the database then the data will not not appear in the dropdownlist of the creditcard no. combobox automatically,on checking the checkbox the creditcard no. which is saved in the database will be added in its dropdown list? again when i uncheck it then again the dropdownlist of the combobox will become empty?

I am working on exporting some data to a DataGrid (with no luck). So far I have:
[Code]...
When this runs, I get an error message that says: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. The excel file has only one sheet that is named "Sheet", and the location specified in the connection line is correct. Any ideas on why this may be happening?
This code works well however when data is exported to excel in one field some values are wrong. Instead for example populating 16-12-19 it populates 43815, 01-03-99 it populates 36220. Again, if the sort code is like 20-72-68 or 60-01-22 it is populated the same way, which is correct. If the value is a date lookalike then this problem appears, but if not then the exact value as displayed on the grid is shown in excel.
I inserted the code (highlighted in red) to set all the fields as text values. Right, it is exported and when excel spreadsheet is opened the field property is text, but the problem still exists. Why doesn't excel display it as it is displayed on the datagrid and database, instead of changing it even when set text.

I am working with Vb.net and this code below works fine. However, when I review the data exported to excel I have a problem with one particular field i.e., sort code. Sort code in the database is in the format 00-00-00. Therefore if it is 12-11-09 or 11-01-66, a look alike of a valid date it is disaplyed as 12/11/2009 and 11/01/1966 in excel after the export. Excel thinks its a date which is incorrect. I expect it to show 12-11-09 and 11-01-66.

I have a problem loading big spreadsheets into a datagridview.
I had a similar code as above that i used and it works great if you have say 10000 cells to populate cell by cell.
How ever moving to 2 mil cells is a different cup of tea, the code took more than 7 minutes to load the data, and although the data was perfect in every way, its too time consuming, i cant get it to work faster so I used the datagrid instead.
The sheets needed to be imported is 350,000 cells plus. I used code that works realy great, does the import into the grid and transfers the data to a datagridview within 15 seconds with little resources which put a smile on my dail :) then i saw something and it dropped ...
see code:

My problem is that whenever there are values below the heading of the cell the datagrid displays (null)
No matter what i do even converting the values in excel to text it does not display the heading of that column.
When i paste other text into the cells below the heading (NOT NUMBERS) it shows the data and heading, Only if the "type" of content is the same does it display both the heading and the text that follows in rows below.
