I can't use SSMA for Access. When I installed it, I got an error message that the DAO component was missing. What should I do? (It seems as though the Microsoft download page is still not working.)

    Link not working: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50040

    That link seem to work for me, using Firefox. Maybe you need to clear some browser cache?

    To be precise: the link takes me to a download page, I can press download up which I get a popup with a selection of different files. I checked one, and I then got a Save to dialog in my browser. However, I did not continue with actually downloading the file.
