Connect to Access Database in Sample Data

[3man]

I am trying to link to parcels.mdb (Getting Started.pdf p54). When testing the connection in step three, I get this error.

"An exception occurred in FDO component.
RDBMS: No current open database."

It looks like my feature providers were setup correctly by the default install. I'm not sure what this error means or where to go to get it working. Any help would be appreciated.

I am also having the same problem. Have you managed to find a solution?

There is an error in the connection string that is preventing this from working. The connection string should be what is contained with the quotes: "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=%MG_DATA_FILE_PATH%Parcels.mdb"

The quotes technically are not needed. This is also discussed in the help for Studio if you click on the help icon at the top right of the Configure ODBC Database Connection page.

Thanks. I have found the problem. On the studio help page they refer to including the filename at the end of the connection script, but in the example they give they show the full file path being included. The example is incorrect.
