Data flow source for MS Access in SSIS package

Hi,

I am newbie to SSIS.

I am facing the same problem when connecting to Access 97 database.

I can't connect to the database on local machine where the SSIS is installed using File connection as well as OLEDB connection.

Any help on this will be really appreciated.

Thanks

Vik

Hi, could you give some details about the problem? Do you have an error message from the OLE DB Source ?

Hi Sbastien,

My sincere appology for late response as we had long weekend (Holiday) here.

I have designed new test package for connecting to access. When I am trying to connect to local northwind Access database through OLE DB connection, I am getting this error:

Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Could not attach file 'C:\Db\Access\Northwind.mdb' as database 'Northwind'.
The header for file 'C:\Db\Access\Northwind.mdb' is not a valid database file header. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect.

I followed the microsoft tutorial steps for developing this package.

I would really appreciate if you could help me in this error.

Regards

Vik.

That's the usual message when the db file is corrupted. Can you open your db file using access ?

By the way I won't try the File Connection to connect to an Access DB

Which Ole DB Provider did you tried ?
