从Sharepoint打开文件时Excel .xlsx VBA ADODB连接错误

Question

I am trying to read a file from sharepoint location. The code works absolutely fine when reading from local drive. Please also note that the file type is .xlsx If I convert the file into .xls the code works fine regardless whether the file is on the server or on the local path.

objConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
    "Data Source=" & dataPath & ";" & _
        "Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=No;"";"

Error received

External table is not in the expected format.

Answer 1

Connecting directly to sharepoint server to access a file creates a lot of problems.

For Example

• 1 of the issue is already described above;
• 2 issue is that you would have to manually connect to sharepoint everytime the computer starts before the program can read the file.

A better way of connection can be found in the following answer:
