I'm trying to connect to an MDB file and I'm not quite sure where to begin. I've read posts about ESRI MDB files. I'm not sure if that's what I have or if it's formatted differently. I've tried following this link but when I click ADD my only option is for SQL server. I don't see anything for MDB. HELP!!!

where is that MDB file located?
Is it on the Server?
Or is it local?
-
It's local. Or I could put it on a network drive. Whichever is easiest.

see attached
you most likely want to use option one....
unless it on a server....in which case you will want to use dataconnect through Map Taskpane <MAPWSPACE>
and you will need log-in credentials...and other particulars of the data store
-
actually option 1 <oops> I forgot you said MDB
-
this used to be done through MAP until autodesk or microsoft decided otherwise...and it was WAY easier then
-
What do you mean "option 1"? User DSN?
When I click ADD this is what I get. I don't have an option for MDB although it shows on the first tab.
-
you will want to configure....its already there...MDB

:tickedoff:
-
Do you know if the driver(s) are located in the install MSI? Or is this strictly a Windows thang?
-
and....there will be this...to deal with
