Import MS Access 2013 tables into SQL Server 2012

Question

Hi there,
Is there a step by step example somewhere showing how to import an MS Access 2013 table into SQL Server 2012?
I have read the existing posts and don't see a definitive answer.
I have installed MS Access 2010 engine, first 32 bit then 64 bit.
I have installed the MS Access 2013 runtime on my server.
I use the Office 2015 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider.
I get the error:
Error 0xc0202009: Source - APEntries [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
Error 0xc02020e8: Source - APEntries [1]: Opening a rowset for "`TableName`" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
The post regarding the above errors doesn't resolve the issue.
I have full administrative permissions on the server.
What is the trick to making this work?
Thanks,
Ric

Hi there,
I tried the exact same operation on a third machine.
This machine has Windows 8.1 64 bit, SQL Server 2012 64 bit, MS Office 2013 Plus 32 bit.
I am the administrator on this machine.
I installed this:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable 32 bit (because I have MS Office 2013 plus 32 bit installed.)
From here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
It won't let me install the 64 bit version without uninstalling MS Office 32 bit.
I created an MS Access database on this machine using MS Access 2013 and created a table with 3 records.
I used the "Import and Export Data (32 bit)" from the start menu.
After I installed the "Database Engine 2010 32 bit" driver above, I now have the option of "Office 2015 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider" as Data Source which I did not have prior to doing this installation.
I selected the driver and added the Properties of the Data Source Name file location of the MS Access file. I am using a blank password.
I go thru the same sequence of selecting a table to import and after running the result is the same:
Error 0xc0202009: Source - APEntries [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
"Error 0xc02020e8: Source - APEntries [1]: Opening a rowset for "`TableName`" failed. Check that the object exists in the database."
This seems to be consistent across three machines with three operating systems with the same files and the same result.
I understand that some people have gotten this to work.
I would appreciate it if anyone can report an error in the above procedure to me.
Thanks,
Ric
