[Year 12 IPM] VB and Access Problem

[Allan Barnes]

You need to go to the Microsoft web site and load the patch - I think it is
Service Upgrade Pack 2, and that will fix the problem. If you go to the
Microsoft site and do a search for VB 6, it will tell you what patches you
need to download - there are 2 from memory. 


Kind regards

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] VB and Access Problem

Hi all,
I am just wondering if there is someone who can help me in this issue. 
There is an issue that I have found in importing a database from 
Microsoft Access 2000 for use in Visual Basic 6. 
This causes an "Unrecognized Database Format" error (#3343). 
A temporary solution was found a while back in importing an Access 2000
database back into Access '97 format, but doing this removes the automatic
validation (letters in a field designated to numbers, and so on.) It appears
that it is Visual Basic in fault at this. Has anyone else encountered this
problem, and if so, has anyone found a solution that does not involve Visual
Basic 7 or Microsoft Access 2003?

Thank you,
Sam
