ISAM installable file not found

ISAM installable file not found

  Aurora,
  I haven't heard of this problem before, and I'll need some more information in order to help you.
  
  When and where do you get this error   Is it when you try to make create a new connection in the Data Source Configuration Wizard   Can you test your connection in the dialog   Or does the error happen when you try to configure the datasource   Or does it happen when you hit F5 to run the app
  
  Also, what version of Access is the database   With more information we can try to narrow down what is going wrong.
  
  Thanks,
  Adam Braden

  Hello,
     I am learning VB.NET and ADO.NET. I am trying to open an Microsoft Access data base with the following code and I get the error message "ISAM Installable file not found"
  
  

  Imports System

  Imports System.Data

  Imports System.Data.OleDb

  Public Class Form1

   

  Dim cn As New OleDbConnection()

  Private Sub cerrarBaseDeDatos()

  cn.close()

  End Sub

  Private Sub abrirBaseDeDatos()

  Dim cnString As String

  cnString = "provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" _

  & "DataSource = C:\Documents and Settings\Aurora Perezyera\mami\programacion administrativa\libros.mdb"

  cn.ConnectionString = cnString

  Try

  cn.Open()

  Catch ex As OleDbException

  Dim i As Integer, msg As String

  For i = 0 To ex.Errors.Count - 1

  Dim oledberr As OleDbError = ex.Errors(i)

  msg = "Message = " & oledberr.Message & ControlChars.CrLf

  msg &= "Source = " & oledberr.Source & ControlChars.CrLf

  msg &= "NativeError = " & oledberr.NativeError & ControlChars.CrLf

  msg &= "SQLState = " & oledberr.SQLState & ControlChars.FormFeed

  Next

  MessageBox.Show(msg)

  Catch ex As Exception

  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)

  Finally

  'asegura que la conexion se cierre

  cn.Close()

  End Try

  End Sub

  Private Sub MenuSalir_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuSalir.Click

  cerrarBaseDeDatos()

  End

  End Sub

  Private Sub Principal_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

  abrirBaseDeDatos()

  End Sub

  End Class
  
  
  I am working with Microsoft Access 2002 and Microsoft Development Environment 2002. and Microsoft.NET framewirk 1.0.
  
  In my previous program I established the connection using the servers explorer and everything worked fine. But in this second program I am trying to establish the connection using code and I get the error message.
  
  Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

  Near as I can tell this is a supporting file for Windows Media Player version 7.0. How are you using this file

  This error message is sometimes caused by an error in the connection string. Could you post your connection string (Don't forget to obscure any confidential information such as a password that may be included in the connection string, of course). -- Brendan Reynolds wrote in message news:78287875-25bd-4e93-92d0-c01e314d0003@discussions.microsoft.com...

  Actually, I am using MS Access at work, so I never try to open the media player. All I know is this file does not exist on my system!!!

  This usually indicates a problem with the connection string you're trying to use. If you can't see what the problem is, try posting the connection string here. -- Brendan Reynolds Access MVP wrote in message news:62fdbc0c-9ffe-4ccd-b550-229fa7af5d48@discussions.microsoft.com... >I am trying to open a connection to an Microsoft Access data base in > visual basic.net.

  You don't have to do anything. Someone is apparently having the same problem and posted on the end of this message instead of starting a new thread. Not the best thing to do since you've already marked the question as answered.

  If you don't want to receive any more notifications you can unsubscribe from the thread.
