OLE DB Driver is not installed

Hi there

For my current project I need to be able to retrieve data from an Access (MDB) file - which will need to be synchronized frequently (daily).

Based on my readings I understand this shouldn't be a problem - just a matter of installing the OLEDB driver that came with the WinDev installation disc, and using the import process via the Analysis pane to create the connection & analysis of the external data file - which can then be synchronized on a suitable schedule.

However I'm unable to even import the description of the database (Access) file as I'm getting the following error as soon as I try selection 'Access' (along with most other types of databases):

"This OLE DB driver is not installed.
Check whether it is available in 64 bits.
To import your database, it must be installed before you continue."

Like I said I've tried installing and re-installing the "OLEDB" driver that was located on the installation disc (zipped archive within the 'Install' directory - however that doesn't seem to make a difference. I've also downloaded and installed MDAC 2.8, as well as both 32bit and 64bit versions of Microsoft Access Database Engine.

No matter what I do it seems WinDev 21 will just not detect the OLEDB driver on my system.

Hoping someone here can help me find the solution?

Cheers,

Jiva

I'm having the exact same problem (with windev19).
Tried installing different OLE drivers, Office packages with no results.

Have you meanwhile found a solution for this problem?
