Hello,
I followed the example on how to create an External Content Type in SP2010 using MySQL and attempted to adapt it to connect to a MS Access 2010 (32-bit) database. The project deployed fine, and the CA configurations went smooth, however, when I attempted to bring up the list in SP, I received the following error: "MethodInstance with Name 'ReadList' on Entity (External Content Type) with Name 'Shippers' in Namespace 'TestModel1.BdcModel1' failed unexpectedly. The failure occurred in the method 'ReadList' defined in class 'TestModel1.BdcModel1.ShippersService' with the message 'The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine"
I've been reading about compatibility issues between using 32-bit MS Access database and 64-bit Windows and all sorts of recommendations how to fix, but none of it has worked for me. However, I don't believe they're working on a SharePoint environment. Can you please shed some light on whether or not what I am trying to do is feasible?
Much obliged.
Jorge M.
