After I have installed the ms/Jet engine compatibility layer for the
Visual Basic 3.0 is not more successful to access data with the ODBC driver
interface .

I can still see my data base like access 2.0.
But when I try to access it like an ODBC data base
the sample program supplied by microsoft in
the c:\ vb\samples\ visdata returns a reserved error.

My data base is very simple.
It consists just in a table named as table1
where a text field is defined like unique key.

There is no way get to ACCESS 2 from VB 3 using ODBC unless you
program directly to the ODBC API (you must bypass the Jet engine,
which is what is returning your error).

I believe I have read that MS has fixed this issue with Access 7.

Good luck.

I'm not sure if its fixed or not, but what would be the point?
The Jet engine can access the .mdb files directly.

Never underestimate the power of a WAG.
