Why do I get error 'External table is not in the expected format' when I open my database
There are few possible causes for this error:
- the file is not a valid Excel workbook or Access database
- the file is corrupted
In both cases validate the file by downloading and opening it using proper software (Excel or Access) on your local computer.
- the version is not supported
Supported versions are:
Excel 3.0-2013
Access 2.0 - 2013
- the file is password protected
dbBee does not support password protected files
