Error in workflow

[jtdiedam]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error when running a workflow.

The 2017-10-10 Windows security patch prevents the Jet driver from reading .xls files; install the 2010 32-bit Access driver

The workflow I'm running is near identical to the example in the following guide:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/How-to-dynamically-run-the-most-rec...

The workflow works with no issue if I go into the folder and open/close the excel file before it runs.  If I don't, then it errors out.  My Access drivers are currently 14.00.7248.5000

I've seen a lot of older posts in regards to this and having to update drivers, but I'm on a more current version of Alteryx 2020.1.5.25447 and drivers.  This issue did not seem to affect my colleague that was running it before he left.

Any help is appreciated!

Can you try reinstalling the driver?

I tried reinstalling the driver AccessDatabaseEngine_X64 as I have 64-bit Office Products on my laptop and it wouldn't let me install the 32 bit driver.  This was already on my laptop so I repair/replaced it and the workflow still error out this morning.  Opening the excel sheet manually then closing it and running the workflow works fine, but not if I just let it run on the schedule.
