64-bit Windows and Office
On 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Office (2010, 2013) environments, there are many reports on this error. The fix or workaround is a bit strange but seems to work for most people out there.
The "Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable" installation package seems the natural one to use but several reports says it does not work.
Instead, using the "2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components" seems to solve the above problem for most people.
Thank you.....
