Beginer Question

[jud]

Wondering if someone could answer an easy one for me.

I am trying to front end a simple MS Access DB created in Access 2000 using VB 6.0, It won’t let me set it up to add records. Keeps saying, “Text property is read only”

When I go into the db file of look at the data, it tells me that the file was made a different version than 2000. The VB data control wouldn’t let me select the DB that was created in Access 2000. It gives me “Unrecognized database format, PATH”

Any Idea where I can find anything on this?

Thanks

right click on the toolbar in the VB work space, click
"Components" and add "Microsoft ADO Data Control
6(OLEDB)"
click on the custom property for this control, the
general tab should already be selected,
now chooose the "use connection string" option button,
and click build, there is a list of OLE BD providers,
choose "Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider".

thats about it, click next and chooose the database
name, click next again and choose whether you want to
be able to read write, etc to the DB, then click OK,
and `viola.
