Hi @adil ,

From a SharePoint perspective, you could try restarting IIS (Internet Information Server) on the SharePoint server. IIS can sometimes get into a corrupted state and affect your capability to connect to SharePoint.

From the Microsoft Access side, please first confirm that the database file structure is not damaged and the user has the correct permissions to the sharepoint workspace, and then refer to the solutions listed in the following article, I hope it will help you.
