I am trying to run some SQL statements within a MS Excel file that contains Excel tables.

When I try to run Sub Test(), I get an error on the conn.Open line i.e.

-2147467259: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Any idea where I am going wrong? The code was extracted from a YouTube video called 'Building Excel SQL Query Application Part 1 - Write SQL Statement in Excel to query Excel tables'

I am using Excel version 15.0.

Code:
Sub Test()
    
    QueryExcel ("SELECT tblLicences.Field1 FROM tblLicences WHERE (((tblLicences.Field1)='" & MotherBoardSerialNumber() & "'));")
    
End Sub

Public Sub QueryExcel(ByVal SQL_Statement As String)

    Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst1 As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
    Dim sConnection As String, sSQL As String
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim i As Integer, iCheck As Integer
    Dim num_records As Long
    
    On Error GoTo errHandle
    
    sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.15.0;Data Source=" & ActiveWorkbook.FullName & _
    ";Extended Properties=Excel 15.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=0;ReadOnly=False"""
    
    Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    Set rst1 = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    
    sSQL = UCase(SQL_Statement)
    
    conn.Open
    
    If Left(sSQL, 6) = "UPDATE" Or InStr(sSQL, "INSERT INTO") = 0 Then
        conn.Execute sSQL, num_records
        MsgBox num_records & " records affected.", vbInformation
    Else
        rst1.Open sSQL, conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
        Set ws = Worksheets.Add
        With ws
            .Move , ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Sheets.Count)
            .Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst1
            For i = 0 To rst1.Fields.Count - 1
                .Cells(1, i + 1) = rst1.Fields(i).Name
            Next
        End With
    End If
    
Door:
    If rst1.State <> 0 Then rst1.Close
    If conn.State <> 0 Then conn.Close

    Set rst1 = Nothing
    Set conn = Nothing
    Set ws = Nothing
    
    Exit Sub
    
errHandle:
    MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
    GoTo Door

End Sub
