Working through lab 4 and the gateway setup. It is running. doing credentials. The country and population credentials work fine. Enter credentials for powerbi.accdb and I get the error that it can not find c:\dat207x\PowerBi.accdb. Now we were warned to keep the default folder names which I have done. When I look at dat207x I see the file just fine. Where is it looking?
Verify the full path of that file first. Then check the permission on that file. Right click->Properties->Security.
If everything is fine, but the issue still persists, I suggest you try ODBC connection.
Regards,
thanks for the suggestions. The permissions on the file are as shown for everyone on my laptop. The path is just c:\dat207x\powerBI.accdb
I do not understand the ODBC comment. Am I to create an ODBC connection to this file to see if I can access it? I can open the file just fine in ACCESS.
