Hi,

Use ADO's to connect to Access 2007
Reference:
Microsoft Activex DatObjects 2.7 (Or higher)

What is that ICA Analyzed Corpus.accdb? The file extension of access is .mdb or am I just wrong? :)

re: Unrecognized database format

Covert the database to ms access 2000 or 2003 file format. Visual basic 6.0 does not recognise access 2007 file format
