Help Adding Connections

Hi,
I'm sure because the error is not very clear ("unknown") but I know that sometime there is a component missing in the latest mdac (Microsoft Data Access Component) installation. This is used to connect to the Access database:

Maybe you can try to install this:

Many thanks for the reply. Tried your suggestion but alas the install failed with the following message:

Setup has detected that the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update.

TIA.

Can you try to create another data source in another folder, "c:\rdm" or check that the Ms Access file exists?

The MS Access database does exist. However I've created a new one in a completely separate location and the same thing happens.

Ok,
It's not an easy one, can you try this:

You can also check if the database is not readonly.

The other thing you can try, it's the 5.6 beta, there is an Xml data source, at least you will be able to try the application.

Sorry about that

The MDAC install doesn't work either. Seems Windows already has these files built in (according to the install program).

Where can I get the 5.6 beta?

TIA.

Hi,
it's available here,
http://forum.devolutions.net/topic183-version-56-beta.aspx

Just unzip the file.
