Access Input Error

Hi all,

 

I got an issue when I import an Access file as the input file. It shows “Microsoft Access Database Engine: Operation is not supported for this type of object.\3251 = -65537001”. May I know how to solve it?

There are so many things to check for when it comes to MS-Access files, unfortunately...  I think, in order to provide insight, we'll need more context.

 

But things like file format, driver version, access file corruption, whether the file is in use, file/folder permissions... are all things that can adversely affect file connections.  Maybe you can isolate variables and try testing each one of these aspects to see if you can zero in on the issue.

 

If you can provide more context, I'm sure I (or others) can try and dig in deeper with you.  -Jay

Do you have the Microsoft Access Database Engine installed?
