I have a Database file in my local drive with .db as its extension. What should be the correct way to mention the Connection string in order to access the same.

 

Currently, I tried with the following Strings which are not working.

 

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\padmakumarc\OneDrive - Gulf Business Machines\Desktop\Automation Anywhere Tasks\Database.db;Version=3;

 

 

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\padmakumarc\OneDrive - Gulf Business Machines\Desktop\Automation Anywhere Tasks\Database.db;Extended Properties="HDR=YES"

 

I am getting the below-shown error while trying with the above String.

Hello,

 

Please try the below steps and let me know if the issue persists.

 

Note: Automation Anywhere client uses 32-bit drivers to connect to Excel files. Please make sure that necessary drivers are installed before proceeding further.

In case if you find any drivers problem then please refer to the following link to download and install the 32-bit driver:

2. The Database command window will open.

3. Select Connect option > Build Connection String > Select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers. Click next.
