Error while connecting to OLEDB

[libin]

Good Day!

     I was trying to connect to excel OLEDB with the below code snippet and when i execute the script i get an error "provider cannot be found.It may not be properly installed".However when i connect to excel DB with the same connection string using vb script,it works without any issue.

My Autoit code -

   Local $str12ConnectionString,$objDBConnect,$objRecordSet
   Local $strsqlquery,$objpropdict,$strLoggermessage

   ; Initialize COM error handler
   $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","fn_get_err_data")

   Local $strorfilepath="C:UsersR609DesktopAutoITRootTestDataObjectIdentifier.xlsx"

   Local $str12Provider = "Microsoft.ace.OLEDB.12.0" 

   $str12ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & $strorfilepath & ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;"

   $objDBConnect = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
   $objDBConnect.Open ("Provider=" & $str12Provider & ";" & _
                "Data Source="& $strorfilepath &";" & _
                "Extended Properties=Excel 12.0")

My vb script code -

   strorfilepath = "C:UsersR609DesktopAutoITRootTestDataObjectIdentifier.xlsx"

   str12Provider = "Microsoft.ace.OLEDB.12.0"

   Set objDBConnect = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

   objDBConnect.Open ("Provider=" & str12Provider & ";" & _
                "Data Source=" & strorfilepath & ";" & _
                "Extended Properties=Excel 12.0")

   Can some one help me to resolve the issue?

  

Thanks in advance

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Maybe the wiki tutorial (including examples how to access Excel) will solve your problem.
