Hi,

You cannot read .MDB like this.

You have to create a olebd connection first.

Before loading your .mdb file selece OLEDB as your database and make sure you select forced 32 bit.

then click on connect --> make sure you have selected microsoft jet 4.0 oledb provider.

Then click on select and now you can select your tables.

Hi venkat,

Please follow these steps to connect with open data source like MS Access:

EditScript --> go to Database and select OLE DB

OLE DB (selecting force 32-bit option) > connect > Provider: Microsoft jet 4.0 > Connection: Browse for your .mdb file and type your credentials. Also is important to check the option "Allow saving password". > then click in "Test connection" to ensure that everything's right and you're done.

It's important to check the option force 32-bit because this OLEDB connector is just available in 32 bits, and you don't need to install MS Access to use this method.
