    Default Excel UPDATE and INSERT

    Hi,
    I'm tryin to update/insert data into an excel datasource using CFMX7, had
    no problems using CF6 cause of the direct link to excel, butnow i am having no
    end of problems.
    I am able to read all the data fine... set up the ODBC datasource and so forth
    not a problem.
    Error msg received is - Error Executing Database Query.
    [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]
    Operation must use an updateable query.

    I have allowed all query types in CF admin... run out of things to try... if
    anyone can help it wouldbe greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Default Re: Excel UPDATE and INSERT

    ODBC links to Excel don't support updates.

    Good luck.
