Data Provider or other service returned an E_FAIL status

[freeWill]

Why is this error occasionally occurring in some client PC?

I am using Microsoft excel 2003 and SQL Server 2008

Hi,

Can You Please Give your Code here, Since we Couldn't able to understand What Provider you are using?

This error may due to following reasons
1. Provider may not properly installed
2. SQL Server 2008 is not installed

Hi

I don't think so.This error usually occurs when :

1. An invalid value attempts to be inserted to column of a table(Type mismatch).

or

2. A value having larger size than column size attempts to be inserted.

khanmrhasan,

I'm also thinking of an invalid value attempts. Thanks
