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 corrupt or damaged drivers?
 
Hi

We need to be clear here

Access is an Application which allows you to create .mdb files which may hold data tables and other objects (eg forms etc)

Your thirdparty application presumably accesses the data in the mdb file, Access (the application) is not necessary in this situation

First question(s)

Have you moved any mdb files

Have you deleted any mdb files

have you renamed any mdb files

No problem starting with basics. As far as I know nothing has changed ( yet of course something has). The mdb files have not moved or been named. Correct the application use the Access database (mdb files) to store the data.
