Access DB

[aseelodeh]

I tried to connect MS Access DB with Blueprism but it throw an error for your reference I listed the errors below

I tried with Provider ="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" it throw an Error:- Internal : Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: Unrecognized database format 'C:\Users\Dell\OneDrive\Desktop\Demo.accdb'.

for the Provider="Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" it throws an Error:- Internal: Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

Please suggest a solution for these errors or another way to connect to MS Access.

Hey Aseel,

This error usually comes when the correct drivers are not installed on your machine. I have a exe setup file for Access Database Engine, though I don't remember the exact source URL from where I downloaded it but I am sharing the drive link where I have that exe file saved: Access Database Engine Installation

DISCLAIMER : Please download at your own risk as it is not being provided or promoted by me.


Also, check if you are using the below connection string:

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=<FILE_PATH>;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=YES";

You can try replacing the highlighted text with the actual file path consisting of the file name and extension along with the full file path. For example:"C:\Test\Test.xlsx"
