Exception thrown when i try to configure connection with MS Access

[a.amato]

I tried to configure a connection with MS Access with OLE Db provider but it thrown an exception when i clicked “Test Connection”. The exception: “The type initializer for ‘System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection’ threw an exception”.
I simply selected the db file, selected the
data source “Microsoft Access Database File”, the provider “.NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB” and choose the file. But when I click “Test connection” I get this error.

I have a Windows 11 pc and UiPath Studio 2023.4.0.
Has anyone ever had this problem?

@a.amato

Try including Namespace System.Data.OleDb in Imports

Hope this may help you

Thanks,

Hello @a.amato , Welcome to UiPath Community.
Check to verify the OleDbConnection registered in your local machine.

I had encountered the same issue when the code was working fine previously.
To solve the problem, I simply downgraded the version of UiPath.Database.Activities
