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

This is my error code:

OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'ByStore$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. If 'ByStore$' is not a local object, check your network connection or contact the server administrator.".

Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Procedure PeopleCounter_daily, Line 26

Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".

My problem was the excel file was missing at the path. Just put the file with the correct sheet will do.
