Error 3343: unrecogised DataBase Format

[grant7]

I am a VB5 beginner trying to connect my project to my Acces97 (mdb) database. I keep getting the above error. Changing the References in the VB5 proramme does not help (tried MS DAO 3.51, MS Access 8 and 9). The Database is not corrupt in any way. The database is simple (6 Tables). I do not wish to use the Data Control for the purpose. So need to create classes.

Any ideas would help heaps on the connectivity issue and code which will get me started.

Thanks.

Grant

Is the workgroup file corrupt?
Try using ADO and use the JET.4.0 driver. I had a similar problem and this worked.
