I have a problem....
I'm trying to make a Address book that stores well Info about the person, and the problem is,
I made a Database with Access 2000 and its name is "INFO" and i added that data control, i clicked Recordsorce
after i clicked DBName ans what not, and IT says Unreconizable DATABASE FORMAT(C:/"") Why does it say that?
and how can i fix it? Any help would be great!
Thanks for Listening :D and i added the reference AD0 3.6
PS: newbie ot databases :)

Have you got service pack 3 or 4 installed.
If not you can download service pack 4 from the microsoft website. This should fix the problem

You also need to ensure that you have the correct MDAC installed (I don't have use Access 2000 so I can't tell you what it is...)

Regular datacontrol won't work with Access2000. You have to use ADO datacontrol.

There is no ADO 3.6. Are you using DAO by chance? (as opposed to ADO)

You will want to review this article if you are using DAO
