Hello and thanks for your reply!
I edited the path for my message. I use the absolute path, which looks
like this (I also tried relative paths):
---
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "c:\ms4w\apps\test2\mdb\Abtenau.mdb"
---
This is the error I get when I try to open the file with ogrinfo:
---
C:\>ogrinfo c:\ms4w\apps\test2\mdb\Abtenau.mdb
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `c:\ms4w\apps\test2\mdb\Abtenau.mdb' with the
following drivers.
-> ESRI Shapefile
-> MapInfo File
-> UK .NTF
-> SDTS
-> TIGER
-> S57
-> DGN
-> VRT

-> REC
-> Memory

-> GML
-> ODBC
-> PostgreSQL
-> MySQL

Thanks a lot for your help

Hello!
I'm new to mapserver and already somewhat at a loss.
If I try to access a .mdb file (via map file and ogrinfo) I get
following error:
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection
`c:\..\test.mdb'. File not found or unsupported format.
Hedwig,
Is this the literal error you are seeing, or have you edited the path
out replacing it with ".."? If this is the literal error then it seems
that the path to the file is being constructed improperly. It may be
that mapserver is trying to apply a SHAPEPATH relative path. I would
suggest you use an absolute path tot he file. What does your CONNECTION
string look?
Best regards,
