Hi,

I create an Access .mdb, when I use vb's visual data manager to open it, it says unrecognized database format,
why is that, what are the different format?

I don't have MSDN installed, so I can not modify the VISDATA's source as pointed through the link.
So how can I upgrade to Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0?
thanks
Did you try the modification, described in the article ?
AS a an aside question: Why are you using VISDATA?

@@Dhaest, do you mean modifying the source code of visData.vbp? no. since the source code comes with MSDN, and I mentioed I don't have it installed.

@@leonstryker, for experiment, however, I found it is hard to use (personally) since I am not used to using the wizard, I prefer the tool like query analyzer in SQL server.

@@mgh_mgharish, I will try that.

thanks
