Jump to Postthats because vb6 cannot directly access the databases in .mdb format other than the access95 version. u probably created the database using ms-access software. re-create the database using vb6's visual data manager. or u have to convert the database to an older version(access 97) using ms access's convert database utility.

connection to the database using any technology whether it is DAO or RDO or ADO is possible. but it is true that by default vb6 cannot access .mdb database if it is created in some other format.but using service packs of vs may solve this problem.but if u use oracle or sql server databases there will be no problem at all.if u wish to use sp of vs u have to download it from microsoft.com
