ODBC Importer - excel error

[itbsdbor]

Version 16.0.4.2161 (64 bit) 02.146743

Trying to connect to an excel file in ODBC Importer, but it is throwing this error:

PL/SQL Developer error: [FireDAC][Phys][ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Operation is not supported for this type of object.

It had worked fine when I last used it on Dec 08 2025.

What I have tried: reboot, install Microsoft Access 365 Runtime (which I loaded new MS ODBC drivers), removed/re-added ODBC drivers in MS ODBC setup). I also emailed Allround Automations support yesterday and today, but have not yet heard back.

Any thoughts on what I can try next to resolve?

We were able to work around the issue with a registry key edit. I do think rolling back to prior version would work as well. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction!
