I get this error when my program is loading "Can not find installable ISAM" i feel it has somethig to do with loading the databases cause they don't load.
Any help will be very welcomed.

What is your connection string to your database?
The most likely cause of this message is the connection string error? Are you trying to connect to a password protected MDB? Then your connection string should read as follows.
cN.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.3.51;Data Source = C:\myDb.MDB;Jet OleDb:Database Password='mypass'"
This string is the method to connect to a access 97 database.
please check your connection string, I bet thats where the error is.

I get the same error message when I link my access database to an ASCII or text file. My alternative is to import the data into the access database. My connection string is:
myconnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.oledb.3.51;Data source=p:\db1.mdb"
I used to have this same problem when I was taking my College VB project between home and the college computer labs. I can't quite remember what the problem was...
Is this problem occuring when you move your project to another computer? If not then I'll shut up :)
No. The problem occurs when there is an ASCII or Text file connected to VB somehow. The latest was when I linked an Access database table to an ASCII file. VB responded with ISAM not installed. So I have to import the data into Access every time the data is updated, wheras, I would create the ASCII file and stop there.
maybe on your p:\ drive you do not have network access.
thats what u r problem could be.

Check the MDAC installation.
I faced the same problem when i was testing the product we had developed. the m/c used was a new m/c without MDAC. We installed MDAC along with the Product for testing. When invoked, the product gave the same error message. I installed MDAC again and tried out. IT WORKED ..!!!
try the same ..let me know whether it worked.
Good Luck
