I need URGENT HELP

[KatSexton]

Hello everybody,

I know this is weird but I have until Monday 7th Jan (like 1 day) to finish my Visual Basic program for University.. Its only a componant for a module in the 2nd year, its not huge... and to you guys its probably hugely easy, but I am very poor at programming.
It is a basic program which is linked to an access database storing student details (modules, personal details etc) and we have to show it, search in VB for names etc, modify students, list them, show details etc on the VB program.
I have been having huge difficulty doing it on my uni computers and now it is home, It wont even start to work on my home comupter. as soon as i press play it comes up with 'error 3170 .. cannot find installable ISAM'.
I have already failed a componant in this module so I am desperate for some help with this. If anyone reads this in time and thinks they can help me.. PLEASE email me asap. I cant stress how important it is.
Thankyou so much.
My email address is: [email protected]
please let me know if you can help...

well i do not know how u are trying to connect
to a database

using

Data control, ADO object, or DAO???

anyways one thing could be the type of Access version
u used to create your database

If u are using a data control change the CONNECT property
of the datacontrol to ACCESS instead of ACCESS2000

if your are using code
try to convert your access database to previous
version of access . u can do that in access

good luck

Thanks for replying!
Well, I it is Access2000 on both so I havent changed it... I have made sure the filename path is right in the code and in the properties box.
I am using data controls but what is DAO and the other one?
Thanks for the luck, I really need it!
