hi all:)
i have created database in ms access 2000.when i open it through vis data manager its shows error"unrecognised formate" .
error no :3343.
how to solve it ?

thanks

This often means that the data is in a format of a more recent version than the process trying to read it.

i think data manager only supports Office 97 and below..
this might be restrictions , but you can use data environment
designer instead...

hi BrianWren

i have already mension my database formate vertion 2000 and i am trying to open through vis data manager.

Please you tell me whether it is possible or not.

if not means then please tell why?

thanks

If by vis you mean Visual Studio, then my thoughts are:

Every data format requires a way for the environment to communicate with the underlying data. Usually, in a given data technology, a certain number of technologies are wrapped up in the objects of that technologies. The protocols for other technologies must be specifically referenced.

For instance, there are specific references that you need to add to Visual Studio if you want to communicate with Oracle.

I am not sure what the specifics are in your case. The reason I am explaining this is to give you some guidance in what to search for as you try to solve this.

I am confident that what you are trying to do is possible.
