$db['access']['username'] = "ADODB.Connection";
$db['access']['password'] = "";
$db['access']['database'] = "C:/xampp/htdocs/human/db/test.mdb";
$db['access']['dbdriver'] = "odbc";
$db['access']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['access']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['access']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['access']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['access']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['access']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['access']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";

What is the exact error you are getting? Maybe something on your system changed?

Code:

An Error Was Encountered
You have specified an invalid database connection group.

[eluser]Spockz[/eluser]
Okay, check what the following variable is set to in 'config/database.php'.

Code:

$active_group = "default";

[eluser]chicoNERD[/eluser]
Thats is what I have I haven't changed the group.

[eluser]Spockz[/eluser]
It should read

Code:

$active_group = 'access';

Does it read that?

[eluser]chicoNERD[/eluser]
When I changed it to that I get this error

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_DB::CI_DB() in C:\xampp\htdocs\human\system\database\drivers\odbc\odbc_driver.php on line 53

thanks for the active help.
