Copy data from excel to ms sql

Dec 19th, 2008

Hi, I am trying to copy som data from an excel document that I have on the server into a table in my ms sql server.
I think the problem now is that I am having trouble connecting to the sql server.

I'm using sql server 2005.

You can see the error message here:
http://www.excel.web.surftown.dk/default.aspx
and then click on the button.

This is all the code I have written:
