using vb.net to extract data from ms access
You can open an access database by using ole db provider in VS7. After
launch VS7, add a database connection through server explorer, in the data
link properties dialog, click on the provider tab, select Microsoft Jet 4.0
Ole db provider, switch to the connection tab and browse to your access MDB
file, type in your user name and password,..etc. After you click on OK,
server explorer will establish the connection and show all the objects in
your mdb. Let us know if you still have any problem.
