1. If not already installed, download and install -  Microsoft OLE DB Driver 18.1 for SQL Server from :  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/oledb/download-oledb-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017

2. On the Data Link Properties dialog prompted by the installer (or while creating a database connection), choose the new Microsoft OLEDB Driver for SQL Server (vs the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for SQL Server)
