ODBC Driver Manager Error When Importing Data
Q: I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet but I am getting the error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/dwzExport/ExcelImport.asp, line 492
A: The import function uses an Excel ODBC Driver. It sounds like the driver may not be installed on your system. Here are the instructions on how to install it. If you are still having this issue, please contact us and we will be happy to help you resolve it:
