Hi Dharmit,
Make sure the database Access 2003 driver is available in your ODBC source Administrator.
What's your OS and JDK version?

Hi, I have Windows 7 Professional Sp1 64 bit and have JDK 7 update 71, Build 1.7.0_71-b14
Attached is the image for my ODBC Data Source Administrator for User DSN, System DSN and Drivers. Correct my if i am wrong, I think the Access driver is installed on the machine.
Please let me know if its missing.

Also could you provide me a link from where i can download the Access 2003 driver?
Thanks

Hi - I am also getting the same error. I am connecting to MS Access 2007 and am running with a *.mdb, *.accdb 32 bit driver (on a 64 bit windows 8.1 machine, Java V7).  This has previously worked until I had to uninstall and reinstall Talend.   On creating the connection, the driver connection string that was selected is jdbc dbc river={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=X:/Client Andino/Andino.accdb.  Can you suggest any solution?

If you're using Talend + Java 64 bits, you'll need to install Access Driver 64 bits
same for 32 bits (Im not sure)
Can you create an ODBC connection ?

Hi All,
I was able to solve this issue by running TOS_DI-win32-x86.exe which is 32 bit version of talend open studio rather than running TOS_DI-win-x86_64.exe which is 64 bit. I thought let me try it out and it works.
Thanks

be carefull when you export your job as a standalone job, you may need to specify the path of Java 32 bits in the bat file, or just change the Windows environment variable (I had this problem and it tooks me hours to solve it)
