To connect to an existing Microsoft Access database:
1.Run the database connection wizard (see Starting the Database Connection Wizard).
2.Select Microsoft Access (ADO), and then click Next.
3.Select Use an existing MS Access database.
4.Browse for the database file, or enter the path to it (either relative or absolute).
5.Click Connect.
