Hi
I have a C++ dll which was designed to handle an Access 97 database using dao classes. I now need to convert this to Access 2000 / 2002, but when I run it, I get 'database format not recognised' errors. Presumably, I need to recompile with different settings somewhere. Unfortunately what little C++ skills I had have long since vanished.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

MFC - its been fine for the last 8 years. I have since found that C++ 6.0 uses dao 3.5 by default. THere is a line of code 'AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x0601;' which apparently should be inserted before a database call to force the use of dao 3.6 but I cannot make it work. I have no problems in converting and reading the databases in VB, but VB is not an option for the dll due to speed / code complexity considerations.

Problem solved. I was putting the recompiled dll in the app folder instead of system32, where it should have been.
Thanks AD for even thinking about it.
