Version 7 on Vista Hello, according to Wolfram Mathematica should be able to read an Access database. The first example from the manual: Import[ "ExampleData/buildings.mdb", "Elements" ] works as expected. However, the next example (and all others) from the manual: Import[ "ExampleData/buildings.mdb", "Datasets" ] reports an error: "Import::fmterr: Cannot import data as MDB format." As this is not a very exaustive message, I do not know whats wrong. In the manual I found: "System requirement: Import of MDB files is supported on computers that are capable of running Java 1.5." I am running version 1.6, could it be that a newer version is not accepted by Mathematica? Daniel
