Question

I am using a excel reader to read contents from the excel,

  string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;
                 Data Source=" + filePath + ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;";
  System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection ExcelConnection 
                 = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString);

I’m working in VS2010 on a windows 7 ultimate x64 installation.
it works fine in my local machine when I run with VS. When I upload the website in server I get the following error. What should I do here, I have access to the server. Thanks

The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. Error

: do I have to install any software in my server

Yes. Be aware that there will be different versions dependent on whether you are running on 32 or 64 bit architecture.
