Connecting to MS Access File

I need help setting up a Read connection to a MS Access table. The Access
file is not located on the same machine that many of the SQL servers reside.
Everything works great on the local machine using the ODBC Drivers Provider
as a one of the rds. The DSN file on the local development machine points to
the proper MS Access file. When the report is deployed to the reporting
server (not the local dev. box) a credentials error is encountered. Yes, I
have a DSN file on both different machines with the same name. Any help
would be much appreciated.Hello Corey,
I would not use a DSN; try a DSN-less connection string.
I think you can find one here: http://www.connectionstrings.com/
