I am trying to use the following Excel ODBC driver:

Microsoft Excel Driver: 16.00.4999.1000

  1. Is this an ODBC 3.x compliant driver?
  2. Does it support Unicode?

Best Regards,

Miki

    Hello Miki_kka,

    thank you for posting on the Microsoft Community Forums.

    For your two questions:

    1. Yes, the Microsoft Excel Driver: 16.00.4999.10001 is ODBC 3.x compliant. It supports the ODBC 3.8 specification.
    2. Yes, the driver supports Unicode. It can handle Unicode characters in both the data source and the application.

    Hope it helps.

    Kind regards,

    Lei
