Is there a limit to the number of fields that can be set in an OleDB Update Statement?

This works with 6 fields:
cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000'"

This Fails with 7 fields:
cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000', F7 = '123'"

The range should be plenty big with A2:AP2. In the end I'm trying to push 42 fields.


The complete segment is:

Dim ExcelConnection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & ExcelFileName & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ExcelConnection)
Dim cmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand()

conn.Open()
cmd.Connection = conn

cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000', F7 = '1234'"

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
