I've recently made another question about connecting to MS-ACCESS database with .NET in C# or VB.NET. It worked just as intended with MDB, but with accdb it caused an exception in
conn.Open();which follows:
Is there another way to do this? My original intention (like stated in the original question) is gathering some (actually, a lot of) fields.

I just purchased VS 2010 Professional. I was using 2010 Express and i used to use Crystal Reports 9 to create my reports. My problem is that CR9 does not allow me to connect to the new MS Access database (accdb). It only lets me connect to .mdb. I used to use .mdb but i have upgraded to MS Office 2010.

i am having a issue with my database connection. I have connected the database itself without much issue but i want to be able to edit, add and eventually delete from the atabase using Visual basic interface. This is for an A Level computing course that i teach, i remember a long time ago when i did the course this was fairly simple to do however i cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it at the moment.

i want to connect to a .accdb access database. the connection string is:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:myFoldermyAccess2010file.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;
so if i want to make sure this works on any computer, should i just add the reference to:
Microsoft Office 14.0 Access Database Engine Object Library
is this all i need to do?

A. A Visual Basic program is developed to read a text file to Access 2003 database using the Data Access Objects (DAO). The following is the DAO command:
Set db = DAO.DBEngine(0).OpenDatabase("C:TempMyAccess2003.mdb")
B. The office Access 2003 database (*.mdb) is going to be upgraded to Access 2007 database (*.accdb).
C. The Visual Basic program is revised to read the same text file to Access 2007 database using the same Data Access Objects (DAO), The following is the DAO command:
Set db = DAO.DBEngine(0).OpenDatabase("C:TempMyAccess2007.accdb")
D. The following error message occurs when the revised Visual Basic program is executed:
"Run-time error '3343': Unrecognized database format"
I had previously used VB6; I am now using VS2008; What is the best manner to now open the database using the VB code? The code works with the Access 2003 database.

I am using Server Explorer in VS2010 to connect to an Access 2007 .accdb database. I started getting 'No error message available, result code:E_UNEXPECTED (0x8000FFFF). However, my program runs from Debug and accesses the data.My connection string is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:MypathDatabase1.accdb. I exited my project and created a new project and tried to add a connection. I could not connect to Access 2007 or Access 2003 databases (.mdb).I had to exit VS2010 and start it again before it started working again.

I have a VB.net program connecting to an Access database. I use ADODB as connection (force of habit, I suppose). The program runs fine on all my machines, but on some of the client machines I get an error on the connection to Access. It is intermittent (sometimes runs without any problems) and happens at different places in the code, but always at the connection with the database. The program connects and closes connections quite a few times during a calculation.

just a few questions. I have read through a of tutorials and snippets on access database.Connecting, updating, inserting, deleting, etc. My main question is this, I have not yet coded the connection to a database using code such as you all. I have always used the wizard to create my connection, table and view this also add the database to the project. Is it better to code the connection, or use the wizard? I have just started creating a program to feed company keep track of there inventory, right now I have 2 tables (feed, misc) both table contain the same things (code, description, price, and quantity). Any way I am getting off the subject, Write the code to connect to the database or use the wizard?

So I downloaded the VB 2008 Express edition. My information is stored in a Access 2000 Database I'll call db1.mdb..After I connect I can't seem to run queries, it says that I don't have read permissions. I think this is because my string doesn't contain my workgroup information. I'll just explain my steps.In the Database Explorer I added a Database connection. I chose Microsoft Access Database File, with the Data Provider being
".Net Framework Data Provider for OLE DB"..I browse to my db1.mdb file. The file itself has no password to it. So I test connection and it is fine. Unfortunately when I try to run a query from the Database Explorer, it says I don't have read permissions.When I normally log into Access I fill in workgroup login info. My connection string doesn't have this information so I'm wondering if that could be the cause.[code]How would I add the workgroup login/password to the conenction string ad is this the possible cause?

I want to connect to a Access Database I've tried to do it though Data Binding and that doesn't seem to be working so I'm going to have to do this through Code... every book I have tells you how to do it with SQL Server but can't find a example for Access that doesn't involve just using the databinding tool. Writing the queries isn't a issue it's just connecting to the database and then putting that data into a couple of text boxes. Lets say the database is called TestData and the table is ClientInfo and we want to put Date, First, Last into txtBox 1, 2 and 3 respectively when the form loads.

I'm trying to connect to a access 2007 database with VB 9 and am having some problems.
I went to Data and then selected add new datasource.
Then I clicked on database and selected Next.
I click on new connection, change the datasource to access database file and then click ok.
It doesn't give me a browser box so I can choose where my access database file is. All it shows me is a connection string label and a text box to the right of it. I tried entering the full path to my accdb file in that connection string box and also just the name of the file itself since it's in the same directory but get the error message "format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0."
Also, when I click on test connection, it always says succeeded even though no database has been selected.

This is my function:
Public Function DBConnection(ByVal path As String)
' This function makes the database connection and returns the object
' to reference it.
[code]....
As you can see, I want to initialize a database connection and return it so I can use it in my forms. This function is in a module and my variables are as follows:
Public cn As OleDbConnection
Public cmd As OleDbCommand
Public dr As OleDbDataReader
But I'm not sure how I can use this in my forms, do I just call the function DBConnection and then proceed with my SQL statements? Also, I need some opinions. My application relies on a MS Access database. Is it better to initialize the connection on Form_Load and then close the connection when the user closes the program, or open and close the connections as the queries are run? I'm planning to use some database queries on multiple forms hence the reason I was putting it into a module, but I'm not 100% on how I should proceed with this.

I'm new to using databases within VB, so bear with me. I've created a couple of extremely simple tables in Access, and I've successfully connected to them in VB. My questions are:1. Is it possible to import the tables' field properties with the table, such as the captions for the columns or the number formats. Those details seemed to have disappeared during the import. Or do I need to set all these properties within VB after the

Joined: 20 minutes ago Posts: 1 I am not a student, but had some experience with VB 2005 in MS visual studio while in school a while back. I have recently just decided to get back into learning some coding and downloaded the MS Visual Basic 2008 Express addition, and i believe this is the right forum, not vb.net.
My question is how to open a connection through code to an access database.From what I remember you have to initialize the variables before the functions up top and then open the connection string somewhere. Can someone provide some basic code to open the connection between the form and the database. I am just starting out again and want to basically just populate a combo box by clicking a button, from a table in access with 5 colors.
