    Thanks for the reply,
    I have tried to find it on google. but i did not find any solution. May be I am new that's why its little difficult to me. When i change the cell value with "Claims-I" then my connection works properly but when i change the Value with "HMI New Business" then it gives me mentioned error. my excel file have connection with access 2003. If you require more details to resolve this issue please tell me.
