SSIS get data from MS Access db with linked tables

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to deploy an SSIS package to a client's server

    The package is getting data from access.mdb database.

    If I get data from flat table, everything is OK, as only I am trying to get data from linked tables - failed (running OK under VS)

    with Message:

  • are you able to connect to the source of the linked tables? By that I mean, skip Access and go to where the linked-to-Access tables actually live.

    Just seems like using them as links could have ramifications larger than just the current/temporary lack of connectivity.

  • this is what I am doing now, 2 Sources (Access db) and merge them in one, but thought that there may be another way. Not sure how to merge them in getting aggregates (sum, min, max).
