Hi most members of my team cannot run a dynamic input tool that reads in .xlsx files
We get the following error
Error: Dynamic Input (4): The 2017-10-10 Windows security patch prevents the Jet driver from reading .xls files; install the 2010 32-bit Access driver
Not all of us do however, some can run it fine. There is no apparent reason why some can and some cannot.
ive scoured the community and not found a consistent answer.
is this an IT issue that our IT department can deal with, and if so, what do we tell them?
all help appreciated!
thanks
mark

Hi @markstephens ,
I've had this same issue before. You will have to install the access driver. Please refer to this link for more details: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Access-Driver-Install-for-xls-File-Acess/ba-p/90145
