Hi Tom

The page lists the downloads for the data drivers needed to connect to
an Access database - from anything other then Access, Base included, on
a Windows OS.

They don't ship with Windows and therefore the user needs to go get
them.

Once installed the questioner should be able to connect following the
instructions in the help file.
