Hi,

I am also facing the same issue.

if my datasource is like below then i am getting: Could not find installable ISAM

C#

string path = FileUploadContacts.PostedFile.FileName;
        string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + path + ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;HDR=YES";

If i place the below code the error is : The Microsoft Office Access database engine cannot open or write to the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.

C#

string path = FileUploadContacts.PostedFile.FileName;
      string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + path + ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0; ";

I have checked many articles and posts from last 2 days but still not able to fix this. Kindly help me to solve this.

DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalisation if you want to be taken seriously.

Ensure that you have apostophes around the path.

Put below connection string in your code or rather just put IMEX=1 in your connection string like below...
@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\test.xls;
Extended Properties='Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1';");
