Can't Create Data Source Object - Access Database

TeamTJ

I have a workflow I've used for years without issue.  It opens an access database query and then does a bunch of other stuff.  🙂

 

Today when I try to run it, the Input Data that opens MS Access gives me the Error Opening Connect String: Can't Create Data Source Object, but no other info.

 

I've opened the database itself and run the query, so I know it works.

 

Suggestions? Running 2019.4.8.22007

Dear @TeamTJ,

 

Have you tried to delete the output table and recreate it:

I think that the error is because that some data type changed in the workflow.

 

Let me know if the resolve your problem.

I don't have that option, and don't think I should.  The source is just a select query in Access.

Turns out, for some bizarre reason, I had to install Access Database Engine 2010 64bit.

 

It's working now.

 

Life is strange.
