How to connect to Access database

[factotum]

First time trying to use in.de and stumped at the first step trying to connect to an MDB database - got this message:

Now I'm curios :)
What was the problem? Access ULS?

I should have used jet and not a direct access type - I wanted to connect to an mdb
I also forgot that you need to take ownership

Ok. I've added some more information about the Access ULS enablede databases in this thread http://forum.progamma.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=60329 .
