relinking tables in Access db using VB.NET and ADOX

I am trying to relink some Oracle tables in an Access database via VB.NET and ADOX. I receive the following error when executing the cat.ActiveConne ction link

"Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.

Here is my code

Dim cat As ADOX.Catalog = New ADOX.Catalo
Dim tbl As ADOX.Tabl
Dim OracleConn As String = "Provider=MSDAO RA.1;Data Source=xzy;User ID=xyz;Password =xyz

Tr
cat.ActiveConne ction = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;" &
"Data Source=c:\datab ases\xyz.mdb;" &
"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5

For Each tbl In cat.Table
'Check to make sure the table is a linked tabl
If tbl.Type = "LINK" The
tbl.Properties( "Jet OLEDB:Create Link").Value = Tru
tbl.Properties( "Jet OLEDB:Link Provider String").Value = OracleCon
tbl.Properties( "Jet OLEDB:Cache Link Name/Password").Valu e = Tru
End I
Nex
Catch ex As Exceptio
sr.WriteLine(ex .Message
End Tr

Any ideas

Thank

Probably a connection string issue. Are you using either the Microsoft or Oracle ODBC driver for
your Link Provider String?

Hi, I want to make a small application in VB.NET that relinks all the query's and tables in an Access database that are linked via ODBC to an SQL Server. It must be able to relink all the tables and query's to a given databse, on a given sql server with given login and password. Aybody knows how to do that, or better: has a sample application doing this? Thanks in advance!
