connection string to access database failing (ado.net)

I am trying to connect to the MS access database...using the following connection string

connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:\Northwind.mdb"

and the error it displays is
Unknown connection option in connection string....

I think it should be simple and straight forward..Am I doing any mistake?

Pls suggest...

Hi,

try look at this site:

http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm:wave:

unknown connection option in connection string provider...

The connection string is ...

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\Northwind.mdb;User ID=Admin;Password="

Private idbConn As SqlConnection = Nothing
idbConn = New SqlConnection(connString)

Can you show more code of the connection part.
:confused:
