Slingshot Reading Excel

by David Chen

Oct 29, 2016

Hi, I'm trying to use the Slingshot from the updated installer (64bit) to read an excel file (.xlsx). I'm also using Office 2016 64bit. But I got errors like these: 

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Slingshot.GHRDBFILE_Query.SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA)

I've tried installing both Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64 bit and 32 bit (with "/passive" parameter), but the error message still persists. Has anyone else met this problem and solved this?

    Did you ever find a solution to this. I am getting a similar message trying SQL Server.
