Excel ODBC data source not working after upgrade 2014

Beat Bucher asked 9 years ago
We upgraded to SC 2014 this morning and though our maps lost all the destination mapping after the process, I was able to bring them back after exporting & re-importing the maps…
Now when opening one of the map that was perfectly working before (and the source file hasn't changed since), it throws an error :
ERROR [07002] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]COUNT field incorrect
and after you hit OK

"You must enter a valid Datasource before you continue" 

The original map was setup to use ODBC as the driver for the Excel file input, now this doesn't seem to work anymore after the upgrade…I've tried to rebuild the link, but no success..
Any suggestion on how to fix this ?
