Tough Flexgrid issue for any experts

I'm using a flexgrid and data control with an Access 2000 db. the Grid pulls data from a Access 97 db but gives an error "Unreconizable database format". What settings do I have to change? Appreciate any ideas

I get the error when trying to use a 2000 db, the 97 db works fine.

It happens because regular data control is based on DAO 3.5 and it won't be able to read Access2000 format. What you can do is to use just a plain DAO 3.6 (which has a support for Jet4.0) or ADO to connect to a database.

Is that a property of the data control or a whole different type of control? If it is a property, which one.

thanks

I can't get the flexgrid to recognize the ado as a data source
