I need to connect to an open Excel 2003 file using .NET 3.5
It seems the OleDb connection which I am trying to use wants the file exclusively. But I need to have this file open in Excel in the same time.
Is non-locking reading possible?
EDIT: I resolved this by copying file before opening it.
the question seems have no answer. and I cant delete it….
my solution was – run macro on timer to save the excel file in question and C# app was copying the file to another one and reading it using OleDb.
