[Sherly25]

HI
I really need to make a few databases available to my co-workers, but none of them have Microsoft Access. I have a book here that teaches you how to do this but it uses MS Access 97 and I have 2000 on my PC. The problem is that Visual(6.0, Pro) doesn't recognize my database as a valid one and gives me an error. So my question is:
Does anyone have any idea how I can display and edit an Access(2000) Database using Visual Basic 6.0 Professional? (on a computer with no MS Access software?)If you do or have any sugestions please let me know...Thanks.

Update your VB6 to Service Pack 5 (download from the MS site). Then you will have the needed updates/JET version and DataControl to open an ACCESS 2000 mdb either with DAO 3.6 (change the reference under PROJECT|REFERENCES, the DataControl, or ADO (for ADO add a reference to ADO 2.5 or higher), or add the OLEDB DataControl under PROJECT|COMPONENTS.
