    Hi,

    You need to check if this provider is available on your machine. You can check this using a UDL file.

    To create a UDL file follow these steps

    1. Create a text file on desktop. and rename it as filename.UDL

    2. Now doubleclick and open it. Datalink properties dialog will open, Check for jet oledb provide from the provider list.

    If Jet provider is not there, you will need to download it from Microsoft site. For more information for obtaining the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine visit following link.

    Or if a different version is available on the machine ( this is most likely ), use that provider in your code and test your application.
