Setting References to "Microsoft DAO Object Library" and similar allow me to connect to Access Databases from 1997 Office very well.
However, they do not seem to connect to latter versions of Access.
Is there another reference or work around to this problem?
I am old programer, and have VB5 under my belt. Some of the latter versions of VB leave me wondering what it is all about.
you can use ADO (microsoft activex data objects), add a reference to the whatever version you have installed, or download the latest version (2.8 i think), search under MDAC, you can find tutorial for connection in database forum
Welcome to the forums. :wave:
What, specific, versions of Access are you interested in connecting to?
The latter version of Access that I have provides tools to conver to 2000 and 2002 versions in addition to my 1997 version. I would like to be able to connect up up to either of these latter versions.Quote:
