I write a few programs in VB6 and use access as a database but VB6 only talks to Access 97 and all of our PCs at work have Access 2007. what is the best way to get around this when I have to make changes to tables etc.
Reply from Richard Rost:
Ron, I'm not familiar with any method of connecting to an ACCDB file (Access 2007) from VB6. I've never tried it. I would suggest, if possible, save your Access databases in the Access 2000 file format (which will still work with AC2007 front-end databases). If that's not possible, try a Google search and see if there is a DLL or other code out there that someone has developed for this. I'm sure Microsoft wants you to upgrade your version of VB though.
