Cannot connect to an Access DSN using ODBC!

 Cannot connect to an Access DSN using ODBC!

 Hello Everyone:

         It is the first time I use ODBC to connect to my Access Database.

 1) In ODBC Admin, I added a new DSN called "ABC" to the User DSN and the DB
path is c:\Biblio.mdb;

 2) In my VB from, I have a DataControl "Data1" and a DBGrid connected to the
"Data1".  The code is following:

 Private sub Form_Load( )

         Data1.connect = "ODBC;DSN=ABC"

 End sub

         But when I try to run the program, it give me the following error
message:

 "You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to, or link an external Microsoft
Jet or ISAM database table to your database."

         Does it mean I cannot connect Access Jet Database using ODBC?  

         Can anyone please tell me why it doesn't work and how I can connect
to the Access or other type of Databases using ODBC?

 Thanks in Advance!
