I have installed 64bit Power bi and office.  When trying to import the access files in lab 1 I get an error.

Any ideas?

Hi @rdbinger,

Could you try installing both versions( (32-bit or 64-bit) ) of the Access Database Engine to see if it works? 

To install both bit-versions of the Access Database Engine, download both versions, then run each of them using the /passive switch. For example:

c:\users\joe\downloads\AccessDatabaseEngine.exe /passive

c:\users\joe\downloads\AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe /passive

Regards

Thank you so much for the assistance and idea.  However, I can not instal both versions I get an error that I cannot install the 64 bit version because I currently have the 32 bit office product installed.

Still searching for more ideas
