Data environment problem

[makla]

I am trying to use the DataEnvironment in VB to connect to a database.
This database could be a either a MS Access or SQL server database (depends on DBMS is ini-file.

I use the following connectionstring:
'open database (MS ACCESS)
If DBMS = "MS ACCESS" Then
DB_PASSWORD = "test"
If RSDDatabase.RSDDatabase.State <> 1 Then
connectie = "Data Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " & DATABASE & ";Persist Security Info=False;Jet OLEDBatabase Password=" & DB_PASSWORD
RSDDatabase.RSDDatabase.ConnectionString = connectie
RSDDatabase.RSDDatabase.Open
End If
End If

'open database (SQL SERVER)
If DBMS = "SQL SERVER" Then
If RSDDatabase.RSDDatabase.State <> 1 Then
connectie = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=" & SERVER & ";Database=" & DATABASE & ";Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;"
RSDDatabase.RSDDatabase.ConnectionString = connectie
RSDDatabase.RSDDatabase.Open
End If
End If

I got the error: Run time error '-2147217887 (80040e21)':
Unable to set data provider properties.

This error happens when I set DBMS to 'SQL SERVER' and the Dataenvironment OLE DB (first tab) is set to Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider at design time.

The same error occurs when I set DBMS to 'MS ACCESS' and the Dataenvironment OLE DB (first tab) to Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider for SQL server at design time.

I want to choose in the ini file which database (MS Access or SQL server) the application has to use.

Does anybody have a clue how to do this?

Many thanx!!!!

try this....
change the cost and provider according.....

If DataEnvironment1.Connections(1).State = 1 Then DataEnvironment1.Connections(1).Close
With DataEnvironment1.Connections(1)
.ConnectionString = cost
.ConnectionTimeout = 5
.Provider = "MSDataShape"
.Open
End With

What do you mean by 'change the cost' and what is Provider = "MSDataShape" doing ??
