I already have a Remote View set up -this is called MsAccess1. It points to the .mdb file.

I've tried USEing it and/or SELECTing from it. But I always get that 'find file/path' window.

I know my problem probably sounds very basic and it would help me understand it all if I spent some time reading up on how it all works, etc., but I need to do that another time -separately from this one small job.

For now, I only want to automate the selection of all records from this one (MSACCESS) file. Nothing is being written back to it.
