title: Microsoft Access Database Engine - Failure Creating File
body: <p>I've installed the Microsoft Access Database Engine in order for an app to read and update and Excel file using OLEDB on a 64bit operating system. It all still works fine on 32 bit however i get a "Failure Creating File" error on a 64 bit machine.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using the following connectionstring(VB.Net) as per connectionstrings.com(<a href="http://www.connectionstrings.com/excel-2007" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.connectionstrings.com/excel-2007</a>):</p>
  
  <pre><code>lstrConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\temp\excelfile.xlsx;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES"";"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!</p>
