I would like to query data in Management Studio from a Microsoft Access 2007 database located on the same machine as my SQL Server 2012 instance. I do NOT want to use a link
Assuming you have the 'Northwind' sample installed (and in folder mentioned below), will the following run?
SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\SAMPLES\Northwind.mdb';
'admin';'',Customers);
GO
Unfortunately I have not reinstalled SQL Server since my last reimage
