oledb problem in vb.net - Visual Basic .NET

Chris Thunell

I have a program where i connect to an access database and get some
information out of it. I'm using the oledb.3.51 version, my computer
doesn't seem to have the 4.0 version, but the computer that is trying to run
it only have the 4.0 version. So as you will see with the code below, i
first try to open the 4.0 version... if that doesn't work, do the 3.51
version. When i run the program from my computer... the 4.0 fails and it
goes to the 3.51 and it works fine. On his computer NEITHER version works.

Is there anyway to either include my oledb version in the program, OR get
the version of oledb on the computer running that program.. and use that in
the connection string?

Thanks!

Hello Chris,

I need a little more information on this one... can you replace you generic Exception with an oledbexception, and post it here?

I have a program where i connect to an access database and get some
information out of it. I'm using the oledb.3.51 version, my computer
doesn't seem to have the 4.0 version, but the computer that is trying
to run it only have the 4.0 version. So as you will see with the code
below, i first try to open the 4.0 version... if that doesn't work, do
the 3.51 version. When i run the program from my computer... the 4.0
fails and it goes to the 3.51 and it works fine. On his computer
NEITHER version works.

Is there anyway to either include my oledb version in the program, OR
get the version of oledb on the computer running that program.. and
use that in the connection string?

Thanks!

I would highly recommend updating to the most current version of Jet (4.0). You may also need to
distribute/install this version on the computers where your application is to be available.
