title: SSIS AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"
body: <p>I am trying to take a table from a SQL Server database and place it into an excel document. It is a simple Source SQL Server to Destination of an Excel 97-2003 document. When I try to run this task though, I get the following error. I don't have Excel open and cannot seem to figure out why this is stopping me from doing this. I am on a 64-Bit Windows 7 computer.</p>
