Hi,
 I am running Access 2000 and VB 6.0 on a Windows XP machine. For some 
reason VB doesnt seem to connect to the Access database. I heard that for 
some reason, VB6 doesnt connect to Access 2000 under Windows XP. Is this 
true?

The reason that I heard was it is because XP is a 32 bit platform and 
doesnt support the connection.

I am unsure what to do? Can someone help me out?

Thanks.

John

Hi John,

Your platform definitely isn't the problem, which is the good news.
All versions of Windows 9x and up are fully 32-bit operating systems.

First, be sure you are using the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider, and not 
the Microsoft Jet 3.51 OLE DB Provider, with Access 2K. If that isn't the 
root of this problem, and it often is, let me know how you're
trying to connect. We just need to build your connection string
correctly and get it were its supposed to be.

Best,

Bob
