Connecting to an Access 95 database via an ODBC driver in VB 5.0
Here's what I've done. And it connects to Access & SQL Server:
Set theWorkspace = CreateWorkspace("ODBCWorkspace", "software", _
"", dbUseODBC)
Workspaces.Append theWorkspace
Set theDB = theWorkspace.OpenDatabase("", False, False,
"ODBC;DSN=CSAccess" + ";UID=Admin;PWD=;")
BTW I am using DAO 3.5
