Hi

I am using Perl 5.8.8 and i use 

DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb );dbq=$fi
+le"

[download]
to connect to access. This used to work with access 2000. but now in access 2007 the file extension has been changed to .accdb so i changed the code to 
DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)
+;dbq=$file"

[download]
but it is giving error 
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Not a valid file name. (SQL-
+HY000)(DBD: db_login/SQLConnect err=-1)

[download]
Can somebody help me to resolve this error.

Thanks
