Hi all,

 

Can someone guide me how to link an Access table? I choosed Input Data--> Files --> Microsoft  Access .accdb but there is now window to choose the specific table.

 

Thank you for support.

 

Regards,

Pascal

Hi,

 

There should be a window popping up as you say. Could try to drag and drop the file into the workflow? It should default to using a table I believe:

Otherwise, the .accdb might not be valid for whatever reason. Try creating a new .accdb file with dummy data to see if that works perhaps?

If I do that I get bellow error:

Any idea how to solve that?

Hi @Pascal_R 

 

As suspected, there is an issue with the database itself. Try and see if these links might be helpful as you are not the only one it seems 🙂
