Newbi - how to specify the location of a MS Access DB in the Manage Database Connections screen
I have no trouble connecting to server databases such as Postgresql, but I cannot see where to specify the location of a MS Access database when I am creating a connection to it. I tried putting the path in the Database scheme text box, but that didn't work.
I apologize if this is lower than a newbi question, but I cannot find an answer.
Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
David

The Read Access operator is a but of unique operator as it was rebuilt a few years ago. I don't think you create connections via the Connection tab anymore, you just select all location of the database from the database parameter on the operator itself.
Here is the Connections Screen.
As a real newbi, I forgot to say that I am using version 8.0.001
You're correct. I had been following along on the tutorial and did not look for this functionality in the Read Files group. Still, I don't understand why there is a MS Access connection choice under connections if we should not use it. Any thoughts on this? :-)
No idea.

hello @david_e_monarch - welcome to the community. Hmm that's strange. Can you post a screenshot of your database connection screen so we can take a look?
