[Resolved] VB6 & Unrecognized Database Format Access 2003

[DebbieH]

Hi All,

I have a VB6 project that I inherited about 3 years ago that I am just trying to maintain. They are legacy programs that does payroll and reporting. The original projects connected to a Access 97 database using DAO. I was able to convert the Access 97 database to Access 2003 with no errors. I updated the visual basic projects changing the reference from DAO 3.51 object library to the DAO 3.6 object library. Once I try to compile and execute the program I receive the Unrecognized Database format error. The database works fine in Access 2003. Is there another reference I should add?

I just need direction on where to start to look. Because it was programmed with DAO parameters, there is not connection string in the code. There is a directory variable that points to the database.

Any help is appreciated.
