There is no native processor to open access databases files.

You can handle it a couple ways... Easiest would be to export the data from access into csv and ingest that.

The other method would be to connect to the server running MS Access via JDBC. However, I believe this would require a 3rd party driver, as Microsoft only has ODBC drivers for Access (but this may no longer be the case)
