System requirements

Currently, there are three supported OLE DB providers to be used with the OLE DB Adapter:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider (for Access)

Verify that you have installed one of the above listed OLE DB providers and have configured your OLE DB data links. The data link populates a Universal Data Connection (.udl) file that you can create. For more information about how to configure and manage these data links, see the OLE DB documentation included with your OLE DB providers.
