how do I access an access db (mdb) from vb
Jeff,
I did try to do it with VB.NET, it seems to work perfectly fine.
I didn't try to run the program ofcourse. Is it throwing an error when you
are running?
OK, here is what I did:
1) I right-clicked on references of my project and chose 'Add Reference'
2) Selected the COM tab and checked 'Microsoft DAOx library'
3) It asked me whether it can create a type library for me, I said Yes
4) I saw the 'DAO' on the reference list
5) I said 'Import DAO' in my code window
6) I started using it like any other library
I hope this helps you.
