Access and Excel are two separate and completely different things. Regardless, use ODBC to source from either one.

Access database do use tables. Even Excel worksheets can be read as tables. I thought you were using some macroes kind of stuff to get data in Excel to Access and then using the Access file as source in DS job.

But as mentioned by Craig, you can use ODBC stage to access both of them.
