If you upload the FIS (Funding Information Service) .mdb Microsoft Access file into ProGeneral and if it creates this error
‘the connection was invalid’
'microsoft.ace.oledb.12.0 provider' is not registered on local machine’
Then:
Log a call with the IT Service Centre (https://itservicecentre.derby.ac.uk/hc/en-us ) to install the 32 bit version of Microsoft Access.
In Office 2019, the 64 bit version of Access is installed by default and the 32 bit version is needed for ProGeneral.
