    Default Excel File as Datasource

    I have a client that maitains their product inventory in Excel. They want to
    be able to display the info on the web site. Connect to and querying the
    Excel sheets is not a problem, but trying to upload or delete the file is. I
    get the "file is being used by another service..." error message. How can I
    work around this? Or is there a better to accomplish the business objective?

    Hi

    i think once the file is connected using the database, the server may locking it like how the MS-Access lock.
    so you need to wait till the lock cleares.

    Default Re: Excel File as Datasource

    I've also been having this problem. Whenever I try to unlock (via a bad query)
    and delete an Excel file that's been used as a system DSN, I get a "this file
    cannot be deleted for an known reason" message.
