What database?

What version of VB?

What VB service pack?

Which mdac?

What database?Access

What version of VB?6 Proffessional edition

What VB service pack?Microsoft ADO data control(i think this is wot u mean)

Which mdac?mdac?????????!!!!!!!!

Go to http://www.msdn.com.

Go to the downloads section and do a search for 'MDAC'

Download the newest version and use this within your VB project (go to references and check the Microsoft Active Data Objects 2.X library).

i downloaded it and apparently i already have it installed. I do not thinkthis is the problem, because i tested on a a database and it worled fine, now whewn i changed it it says that it does not recogise the format. Can anyone help plz?

Download service pack 5 for VB 6. Also, make sure you have the proper Microsoft Jet Provider dlls (if using Microsoft Access, I am assuming this righ now) again, all from MSDN

Firstly my msdn doesnt work it says it does not exist and i tried to reinstall it but it doesn't work. I have installed the service pack after uininstalling my current one and the problem is persisting, i have also checked the jet provider dlls and it is fine. Do u know why this is happening?

Thanks

So are you using DAO or ADO for this project. Here is an MSDN article on this.

Basically, if you are using DAO, make sure you are referencing DAO 3.6 in your project file, not a lower version. If using ADO, make sure you declare the 4.0 Jet provider in your connection string, NOT 3.51 if using Access 2000 or higher.
