Problem

When you use NiceLabel to connect to Excel .XLS type of data files, NiceLabel will use database driver 'Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider' by default. After October 10, 2017, you might not be able to connect to such data sources anymore.

NOTE: Connection to .XLSX type of Excel file is unaffected.

The following would happen in NiceLabel software:

  • NiceLabel V2017. You would see the system error message 'Unexpected error from external database driver (1).'
  • NiceLabel V6. You would see the 'Database Login' dialog box, prompting you for the user name and password.

Windows updates from October 10, 2017 were the culprit for this problem.

WORKAROUND 2

This workaround is applicable only in NiceLabel V2017.

NiceLabel 2017.3 has been released on October 27, 2017. NiceLabel 2017.3 will use ACE provider to connect to .XLS Excel data sources, even if you have initially configured JET provider on the labels. The switch happens automatically in the background, when you open a label. ACE provider is backwards compatible with JET provider, so there will be no issues making the switch.

NiceLabel 2017.3 will use ACE provider also for each new .XLS Excel file that you will use on the label. If ACE provider is not available, NiceLabel 2017.3 will downgrade to JET provider.

The ACE provider is installed with Microsoft Office products, but can also be installed separately, if needed (you can download it from Microsoft). You can install either 32-bit or 64-bit ACE provider, NiceLabel 2017 will use the one you have installed.

To upgrade your NiceLabel 2017 to 2017.3 release, download the trial installer here and install new version on top of the existing one, overwriting it, but keeping all settings and preferences.

If you cannot upgrade to NiceLabel 2017.3 (from one reason or another), you can change the data provider yourself. Change the provider from 'Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider' (JET) to 'Microsoft Office XX.0 Access Database engine OLE DB Provider' (ACE) (XX represents a version number of your database provider). You will have to do it for each label separately.
