headers contains brackets
Hi
How do I do a select from a excel sheet where the column header contain brackets? the actual name is [ID] ? I i can't see how to escape correctly. The code looks like: String strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\test.xlsx;Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;"; String strSelect = "SELECT [ID] FROM [sheetname$]"; OleDbDataAdapter daMaster = new OleDbDataAdapter(strSelect, strConn); Regards Kim |

do you have the SQL?
you can change the column name eg: select tablex from dbtable will return tablex as the header while select tablex as [X] from dbtable will return X as the header. "Kim Carlsen" wrote in message ...

Thanks. I know the alias method, but the problem is not add the data to the
datatable, but to select the row from the excel file, where the header contain brackets.

headers contains brackets
did you get anywhere with this?
I wasn't able to get past discovering that the field name went from [ID] to (ID) in the recordset which didn't really help as i had to use SELECT * FROM ... and wasn't able to use the field name itself "Kim Carlsen" wrote in message ...

headers contains brackets
I saved an excel workbook with [Instrument] as the column header, including the square braces I noiticed in SQL that Excel changed this to (Instrument) when I used SELECT * FROM so I tried this SQL = "SELECT [(Instrument)] FROM [Instruments]" and yes, it worked!
