Are you personally sure that Account.mdb exists in Application Folder ? If so, please check the spelling of that mdb file.

[Santanu.Das]

In which folder the exe file of your project is residing, this folder is called Application Folder of that particular project. At the time of creation of a project you can set the project /application folder fo that project.
Here vb98 is the project folder.

You can create your access (.mdb) database file by using MSAccess or through vb6 Tools menu. you can save it any where in your HDD. To call database you must have to write the correct path and database file name.

Your database connections should be

Private Sub Form_Load()
        conn.Open "Provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;Data Source=" & App.Path & "\ Account.mdb;"
    End Sub

You can use also DataDirectory Keyword if database resides in your application folder.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    conn.Open "Provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\ Account.mdb;"
End Sub
