How to import the data from MS Acess database?

After the launch, the directory is set at C:\Apps\MATLAB\R2016a\toolbox\database\dbdemos. At the command prompt,
> connA=database('SampleDB','','') > connA.Message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I followed the example, but cannot find any file that has SampleDB. I do not know how to fix the error. Eventually I hope to import the data from any database I created using MS Acess 2013. Please help.

Hello,
To look into the issue I need more information:
What is the bitness of MATLAB and MS Access?
Did you successfully connect to the database via 'Database Explore'?
