Issues bringing Access database into pivot table

So I have a document that has a pivot table that was previously linked to an access query. It worked fine, no issues. The problem started when I wanted to change which database the pivot table was linked to. When I tried to change the external data source to the new database, excel gave me the "cannot complete the task with available resources" error. I find this error can be a little finnicky so I tried deleting the pivot and creating a new pivot with the link I want, except now the pivot comes up empty. It pulls in the column headers (in the pivot editor thing) but no data comes up when I add fields to the pivot. I should also add that the new database is exactly the same as the old one - the only difference is a new column of data.


Any thoughts? This is driving me crazy.
