Editing VBScript to connect to the Excel database

Hello Experts,

Please I need help with editing the VB script that connects users to the Excel database. With the transition to 64-bit operating system script are inoperable. The 64-bit systems working connection string: Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0, so we changed it to Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0, skrypt still shows the error: ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a 'provider CAN NOT Be found! It May Not Be Properly Installed.

Thank you in advance for your help

Const ForAppending = 8
Dim strUsername, strPassword, strComputer, adoCon, adoRec, objShell, objFSO, objFile
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strComputer = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%COMPUTERNAME%")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemobject")
strUsername = InputBox("Enter your username.")
If strUsername <> "" Then
    strPassword = InputBox("Enter your password.")
    If strPassword <> "" Then
        Set adoCon = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
        'On the next line change the path to and name of the spreadsheet file.'
        adoCon.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\eeTesting\username-passwords.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"";"
        Set adoRec = adoCon.Execute("SELECT Password FROM [Username_passwords$] WHERE Username = '" & strUsername & "'")
        If adoRec.BOF Or adoRec.EOF Then
            msgbox "The username was not found.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Access Denied"

Double check the connection string.

Also what version of Excel is installed?

For later versions you might need to change Excel 8.0.

To Roberto:
my old connection string for 32-bit systems look exactly as follows:

    Set adoCon = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
        'On the next line change the path to and name of the spreadsheet file.'
        adoCon.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\S1\logon_zaci$\skola\username-passwords.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"";"
        Set adoRec = adoCon.Execute("SELECT Password FROM [Username_passwords$] WHERE Username = '" & strUsername & "'")
        If adoRec.BOF Or adoRec.EOF Then
...

Unfortunately I am not an expert, but if you'll be able to help in any way, I'll try.

Thanks.


To Imnorie:

Using MS Office 2010 32-bit. On 32-bit OS, connection string ("Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" and "ADODB.Connection") functioned without any problems, errors occurred in up to 64 residential operating systems.
Thanks

I'm using 64 bit Windows and I've never had problems apart from some version issues that were easily fixed.

I've also got a similar set of dlls as Tommy.

I also installed the download on this pageMicrosoft Access Database Engine 2010.

Since I'm only using 32-bit versions of Excel and SQL server I installed the 32- bit version, it wouldn't let me actually install the 64-bit for that reason actually.
Hi Thomas...

Using a new excel workbook (No the one that already has the code in it) can you reach the data base from and get data from there ?...

If so, then in this new workbook try the code I posted before and you'll see the actual connection string and compare it with the one you have in the code posted here.

Good luck,
Roberto.
Hi Pabilio
I tried the code you recommended me and writes me an error (see picture)
I make a mistake?
