Delphi 7 Connection Strings for Excel 2019 Files

The connection string to load an Excel 2019 file in Delphi 7 would depend on the method being used to access the file. Here are a few examples:/n/n1. Using ADO:/n/n/nProvider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:/path/to/file.xlsx;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';/n/n/n2. Using ODBC:/n/n/nDriver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=C:/path/to/file.xlsx;DefaultDir=C:/path/to/;DriverId=1046;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;/n/n/n3. Using Excel Automation:/n/n/nExcelApp := CreateOleObject('Excel.Application');/nExcelApp.Workbooks.Open('C:/path/to/file.xlsx');/n/n/nNote that in order to use the first two methods, you may need to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine (for ADO) or the Microsoft Excel ODBC driver (for ODBC) on your machine.
