I have VB6, and am working on a business program where I need to use databases. I also have Access 2000 which I am trying to use. Why is it when I build a database in Access 2000, my VB6 refuses to open it? The Data Manager gives me an "Unrecognized Format" error.
 
vb service pack 5 applied? vb6 much older than access 2000, need service pack for it to work

I have downloaded vs6sp5vb from microsoft presuming that its the service pack 5. Also have downloaded Jet40sp7_wme file and the Mdac 2.8 file. Everything has been installed except, the set-up for service pac 5 told me that it couldn't install the file MSINET.ocx because it was in use at the time. The problem still persists.
 
Finally got it to work by installing service pack 4 then installing service pack 5. Also, found another fix in MSDN Knowledge Base Article - 252438. That one did the job.
