I have a really vague memory of an issue with DB connections when I first updated to Windows 7 - I think it had to do with the ADO adapter. I've been searching through my email & online and can't find the KB we referenced when the issue occurred - do you have all your Windows updates installed? If you haven't already tried it, maybe run a repair on Office or InfoPath (or both).

Okay, so that is probably not the issue. What is your operating system? Windows 10?

In InfoPath, File>Account>About InfoPath. In Access, File>Account>About Access.

Ok, I'm on Windows 10 and running 64 bit InfoPath and 64 bit Office 2016. I can connect to an Access DB when I try to create a new DB bound form. Are both InfoPath & Office 32 or 64 bit on your machine?

Can you attach a screenshot of the error under the "Options" tab in a reply?

I have an InfoPath form that was originally created in InfoPath 2007. The form submitted information to a Microsoft Access database. Our systems have recently been updated and now our InfoPath is 2013 and Access is 2016. Now when I try to connect to the Access database in design mode on the form, I get this error message. When someone tries to submit the form, they get an error message that says they can't connect to the data source. I have tried creating a new InfoPath form attached to this database and I get the same error. I have multiple forms using these same methods and none of them are working anymore since the upgrade. HELP!
