Access Drivers

[cas85]

I use a package that uses Access as its db. All of a sudden the application cannot find Access. I can open Access directly. Does anyone know how Applications access Access and how to repair this issue?

If you've not changed the location of any files and have not upgraded anything then try rebooting your machine.
Otherwise I think you will have to contact the application supplier.

I guess the question I am asking is if the driver some how became corrupt does anyone know how to re install them?

 

[lupins46]

It doesn't look like the problem is at the Access end as you can use Access directly.

Correct Access does Work. The trick is how do thrid party software get to Access

 

[lupins46]

Depends on how old it is.
Newer software is likely to be using OLE DB Jet 4.0 driver, but older apps could be using a DSN with a Jet ODBC driver.
