Hello All,
I am having some problems connecting to an Access Database and I have NO idea what could be wrong with my connection string. Would someone be kind enough to explain what is going on here please The database is an Access 2003 Database saved in Access 2000 format. I am using the connection builder to help format my connection string correctly. It is a secure database using an MDW file called Accounting.mdw. I can log on to the database from Access with my user ID and password just fine, no problem. I have included my code and the connection string built by the connection builder. The error I receive is "Could Not Find Installable ISAM"
This is the connection string:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
Password=sf49ers;
User ID=vscurtis;
Jet OLEDB:System Database=D:\Projects\ApplicationFramework\ApplicationFramework\bin\Debug\Database\Accounting.mdw;
DataSource=D:\Projects\ApplicationFramework\ApplicationFramework\bin\Debug\Database\Accounting.mdb"
This is my code:
Public Function OpenDB() As Boolean Dim strConnection As StringstrConnection = InitDB()
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor
CurrentDatabase.ConnectionString = strConnection
CurrentDatabase.Open()
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Default
OpenDB =
True End Function Private Function InitDB() As String Dim bldConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnectionStringBuilderbldConn.Item(
"Provider") = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"bldConn.Item(
"DataSource") = Parent.DatabasePathbldConn.Item(
"Jet OLEDB:System Database") = Parent.SecurityPathbldConn.Item(
"User ID") = Parent.User.NamebldConn.Item(
"Password") = Parent.User.Password 'bldConn.Item("Jet OLEDB:Engine Type") = 0InitDB = bldConn.ConnectionString
End Function

A quick search with Google yielded this:
I was able to get rid of the ISAM error message by
adding the following to the end of the connection statement. (Mode=Share
Deny None).
Doing a search on your error message may help you find the answer you need. I have never used the Connection Stringbuilder so, I cannot offer you a better solution than this one. I do hope it helps.

you better make connection first with wizard, then copy the provided connection string in the connection made through wizard and paste that connection string to your code ....
it might work fine!!!
