Unable to connect to the data source undefined (ACCESS)

 

I'm having trouble connecting any table from any access:

 

The gateway is working for reports that do not have access

The file mapping on the gateway works and says it has a "connected" status

Every update displays this error

I already tested with a gateway installed on another machine but has the same problem

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try to restart the gateway and use the on-demand refresh.

Or you can try the way of this thread.

make sure the gateway has the latest Access engine installed and that the connection user has write access to the file location of the access database.

@lbendlin 

thanks for helpping

 

The answer to both questions is yes. Even yesterday I configured the gateway I'm connected to just because I had the same problem, and it worked connected in this new one. This morning, however, it gave the same problem as the other gateway.
