Unable to connect to Access 2000 from VB 5. Confronted with the following error message 'unrecognised database format'.
Can anyone help.

Thanks

How are you trying to connect to the database??

If you are using DAO 3.51, try using DAO 3.6 (in "Project", "References")

I was trying to connect to the database using the data control object.

When you create a new database in access you can change it to an older format of access which can be read by VB. I believe this option is under the tools menu in access.

I changed database to older format as you suggested and it worked a treat.

Thanks
