For additional context, it appears as though this issue begins with the 2021 data; the download_ipeds function works properly for years 2017-2020.
For example, the following code works fine until you get to 2021:
years <- c(2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022)
for (i in years){
download_ipeds(year = i, useProvisional = TRUE, cleanup = TRUE)
}
Using the download_ipeds function results in an error stating "Problem loading MS Access database file". It is looking for the *.accdb file in the download folder; however, that file actually exists in the unzipped folder, which is a subdirectory of the download folder.
If anyone else encounters this issue, I was able to figure out a workaround. It's not pretty but it's functional. Note that you'll need to change the value for year and the name of the unzipped folder. Here's the workaround:
