Couldn´t find installable ISAM

Can you show where you get the error ? What connectionstring are you using ?

 Data1.DatabaseName = "x:\xxxxx\Dbxxx.mdb"
  Data1.RecordSource = "Select * from partners order by IDcode"
  Data1.Refresh

What control are you using ?
I assume that you are not using the ado.net  !


you can connect excel file using OLED and read the data , then u can able to display it.

take a look at the following url.

also u can read the data in usual way .

Heres some code I use to connect to an excel data range  :-

Using m_connexcel As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(String.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
         "Data Source={0};" & _
         "Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO""", SPREADSHEET_NAME))
 m_connexcel.Open()
   Using cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(String.Format("SELECT  * FROM [{0}]", DATARANGE), m_connexcel)
    Using oRDR As OleDbDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader
       While (oRDR.Read) 
          If Not oRDR.IsDBNull(oRDR.GetOrdinal("F1")) Then
            MsgBox(oRDR.GetString(oRDR.GetOrdinal("F1")))
          End If      
        End While
     End Using
   End Using
   m_connexcel.Close()
End Using

Set 'HDR' in the connection string to 'YES' if you want to use the first row as the field names, otherwise the fields will be calledF1, F2, F3 etc...
