VB6 w/Access 2000

[Guest_imported]

I have upgraded my Access to 2000. VB6 will use the 2000 databases, but Visual Data Manager gives the error message "Unrecognized database format" Any suggestions?

You need to download and install the latest VB6.0 service pack from Microsoft. I believe any Pack Version 4 or higher should work. It will fix that bug.

This is what I found at

hope it works!

If you got "Uncrecognized Database" Format" error message,
it's probably because the access database version that you work with
isn't compatible with your DAO reference.

To add the compatible reference to DAO:
from VB menu choose Project-> References, mark the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
check box, and press OK.

If you Don't have Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library reference, click on browse,
and select the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Dao\dao360.dll
(If you have Access 2000 installed in your computer you have this file.)
This will add Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library reference to your project.
Now mark it and press OK.

Yep! Download the newest service pack....I had that same problem last week.
