I have a problem with this query:

UPDATE Provinces 
SET    Provinces.DefaultName=T2.Defaultname 
FROM   Provinces 
INNER JOIN 
    OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
               'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\provinces.xlsx;HDR=YES',
               'SELECT Code, Defaultname FROM [Arkusz1$]') T2 
     On Provinces.Code = t2.Code 
WHERE  Provinces.Code = T2.Code

I get error:

Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider “Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0” for linked server “(null)” reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider “Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0” for linked server “(null)”.

What is the source of this error, and how can I modify the SQL statement?

    There are several possible causes of this detailed here: Linked Server using Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 problem.

    A likely is cause is file system permissions of the temp directory for the sql service login for whoever is accessing that linked server: C:\Documents and Settings\(sql login name)\Local Settings\Temp
