The OLE DB provider “Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0” for linked server “(null)”

Question

I\'m trying to run the following statement but am receiving the error messages just below. I have researched answers to no end and none have worked for me. I\'m running Of

Answer 1

I'm running SQL Server 2014 64 bit on Windows 10. I tried everything, the thing that made it work was:

EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 0

I don't know why the AllowInProcess turned off makes it work but that was the key in my case. Thank you for the suggestion of turning all the options off on the linkserver.
