Could not find installable ISAM

105 Views

Hi all,

first post on these forums, have had some experience of using CR XI and also managing a CR server system.

I have a report that uses 2 datasources, SQL and data from a Excel spreadsheet.

This report is a scheduled report that runs on the CR server environment. This is a Windows 2000 server with SP4 with Office 2003 installed.

The SQL datasource connects OK.

but when I attempt to connect to the excel data source I get the following error:

-

Logon failed

Details: DAO Error code: 0xc62

Source: DAO Workspace

Description: Could not find installable ISAM.

i did have issues with Outlook earlier in the year and had to re-install Office, however this was not clean cut as parts of Office system had been corrupted. This was a working report previously and I strongly suspect is down to Office. However given my earlier difficulties with Office, I am looking for other solutions that may fix the issue.

as an aside connecting to this spreadsheet using CR on my local PC works just fine.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
