update access from dataflow

‎02-10-2023 03:34 AM

in Dataflow when I try to bring an access file from onedrive, I get a message that I have to install the 64 bit version on my computer, but the file I have uploaded from access is a 64 bit version.

Access MUST be accessed via a gateway. You cannot connect directly to an MDB or ACCDB file. This article shows both the Gateway is required, and you must have the 64bit ACE OLEDB driver installed on it. Power BI data sources - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
