Hi @PJ1,

What's the reason you can't just use a standard input tool?

Kind regards,
Jonathan

Is this a macro that you found that bulk converts .xls files to .xlsx? This looks odd.

The xls file i am trying to import is not being read by the tool. Below is the snip of the error message.

Hi @PJ1,

You may need to install Access Driver to read this file:
