I am trying to connect to an Access 2007 database with the following connection string.
conn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=<C:\Users\JSeinfeld\Desktop\Backup databases\Database_6.7.accdb>;")
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in conn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=;")Error: ('HY000', "[HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x167c Thread 0x1568 DBC 0x1c67a5c

There is another question like this on SO, but there was a 32/64bit compatibility issue which I do not have. There doesn't seem to be a good answer for this question, but hopefully someone can help me connect to my database because I don't know of any other way to query or write data to Access 2007 with python.
Thanks
