Hi folks,

I have been encountered a problem while i was importing data from excel sheet.
The below statement :

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\CampaignInfo_MPM\MPM Questionnaire.xls',[Campaign$]) camp

is working fine when i execute it from the same server machine through windows authentication but its not working when i am executing it through windows authentication through any of the client machine.

What was the error? You need to use UNC path for the EXCEL file path
