Hello - I have been encouraged by Microsoft support to use an ODBC driver (vs folder or MS Access) and in my limited testing -seems to be working much better on my local laptop. I am now attempting to transition OBDC connection over to another computer (client's) - and now getting this error when attempting to connect via ODBC.
I do have a system DNS setup - and that appears to be working - as it shows up in the drop down PowerQuery DataSource name DSN box.
As I attempt to connect the PowerBI odbc connector - I get these errors. I have opened the selected file up in ACCESS, and don't believe it is corrupt.
Thank YOU!
