I am using excel sheet to upload some information to database.
I am writing:

String conectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + excelFile + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;";

as connection string.
But, when I am uploading a excel file in 2007(.xlsx) is is giving an exception.

I want to convert excel sheet of 2007 to 2003 i.e. .xlsx to .xls.

I tried saveas but it is not working.

Solution 1

Within Excel, the save as function gives the option of saving as an Excel 97-2003 file.
I presume this is how you are saving it, rather than open/save programmatically?

This may help[^]
