• Graham P ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor.

It certainly shouldn't cause an overflow unless it's not really a 64-bit entity. There is a worse possibility which is that it truly isn't supported w ...Show All
