Importing multiple MDB files with folder method

$

Hi,

 

I created a folder on a network drive containing multiple MDB files, which i´d like to use as my primary data source for an analysis.

Each MDB file holds several tables, all in an identical structure which i want to append to several individual tables. E.g. MDB file 1 to 12 contain table A, B, C ... - with the folder method i want to append these to one big table A and B etc. On a daily basis every MDB file is replaced by a fresh export over night via a VBA script to keep them up to date. File and table names etc. all stay the same 

So far i could succesfully import the data and create all necesary relationships. Once i hit "Refresh all" within PBI though, i receive an error message saying there is an unrecognized file format in the source folder with the ending ".ldb" due to the automatic lock-file creation of Access. Is there any chance i can circumvent those "ldb."-lock-files and still use the folder method? 

I would very much appreciate your help. Thank you very much in advance 

 

Tobi
