DataDirect - Excel 2003 Drivers

russ356 · Post by **russ356** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 9:04 am

Currently, with my version of DataDirect (4.2) I cannot read an Excel 2003 file. I have to open the file and save as 95-2002 format. Is there update drivers or another way for me to read this file. We receive the file from an external party and have no control over what they send. I have tried to search this site and the new IBM site but have not had any luck. So any help would greatly appreciated.

More Info.
DataStage 7.5.1 on Windows Server 2003

You need to talk to the DataDirect people, as it is their driver that needs to understand the new format.

Thanks, I have contacted the DataDirect people but have not heard anything yet. I will post their reply or answer when I get it.

Russ356,
Since you have DS 7.5.1 installed, you should have DataDirect 5.0 drivers.
You should call IBM/Ascential support instead of DataDirect.
