    Welcome to the Forums.

    In your connectionstring do you have the path to your database hardcoded?

    You need to use a commondialog box control to allow the browsing. Thentake
    the selected db and path and you would place it in a connection string like
    this and then open the selected db.
    Ex.

    Code:
    Cnn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDBPath & ";Persist Security Info=False"
