Microsoft Access


You can use the Microsoft Access connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Microsoft Access and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the Microsoft Access Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Microsoft Access, you first must add the connector, as follows:

  1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Microsoft Access row.

  4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the Microsoft Access connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to Microsoft Access

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

  • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

  • Data Source - Enter the full path and name of the Microsoft Access database file.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

  1. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

  2. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
