Provider selection, when trying to access Excel table in Delphi 7

I am trying to connect to ex开发者_如何学运维cel table from Delphi 7 using TAdoConnection component. The problem is when I select Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0, Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;", I sometimes receive error,

that external table is not in the expected format.

When i select: Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Extended Properties=Excel 12.0; then some users receive following error:

"Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed".

Is there a way to solve my problem?


It's been too long since I researched this to remember the details, but here is a sample of what we are doing with Excel. Hope this helps...

type
  TConvertExcel = class(TAgCustomPlugin)
    ADOConnection1: TADOConnection;
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
  private
    FSheetName: string;
    FExcelVersion: Currency;

    procedure ConnectToExcel;
    function ExcelSupported: Boolean;
    function GetExcelVersion: Currency;
  end;

var
  ConvertExcel: TConvertExcel;

implementation

uses ...

{$R *.dfm}

{
  TConvertExcel.FormCreate
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
procedure TConvertExcel.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  FExcelVersion := GetExcelVersion;

  if ExcelSupported = False then
  begin
    grpConvertExcel.Visible := False;
    if FExcelVersion = 0 then
      lblNoExcel.Caption := 'Microsoft Excel Not Installed!'
    else
      lblNoExcel.Caption := 'Microsoft Excel Version Not Supported!';
    lblNoExcel.Caption := lblNoExcel.Caption + AsciiCRLF + AsciiCRLF +
      'Microsoft Excel 2003 or 2007 must be installed before an excel file can be converted.';
    lblNoExcel.Visible := True;
    exit;
  end;

end;

{
  TConvertExcel.GetExcelVersion
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
function TConvertExcel.GetExcelVersion: Currency;
var
  ClassID: TCLSID;
  strOLEObject: string;
  Excel: OleVariant;
begin

  result := 0;

  strOLEObject := 'Excel.Application';

  if (CLSIDFromProgID(PWideChar(WideString(strOLEObject)), ClassID) = S_OK) then
  begin
    Excel := CreateOleObject(strOLEObject);
    // qqqxxx - Should we be casting this differently?
    result := Excel.Version;
  end;

end;

{
  TConvertExcel.ExcelSupported
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
function TConvertExcel.ExcelSupported: Boolean;
begin
  result := False;
  if (FExcelVersion = 11.0) or    // Excel 2003
     (FExcelVersion = 12.0) then  // Excel 2007
    result := True;
end;

{
  TExcelConverterPreview.ConnectToExcel
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

procedure TConvertExcel.ConnectToExcel;
var
  strConn: widestring;
  SheetNameList: TStringList;

/*
when connecting to Excel "database",
extended properties are used to set the Excel file version.
For an Excel95 workbook this value is "Excel 5.0" (without the quotes),
for versions Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002 or ExcelXP the value is "Excel 8.0".

IMEX=1;" tells the driver to always read the registry at
Hkey_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Jet/4.0/Engines/Excel/ImportMixedTypes.
If ImportMixedTypes=Text then intermixed types will always be cast to Text.
If ImportMixedTypes=Majority Type then intermixed types will result in Null values.
Luckily Text seems to be the default.
