DAO Data Control

We have some ancient apps that use the DAO Data Control. These apps have
been upgraded from vb4 to vb5 to vb6. We are currently migrating to Windows
and Office 2000. The DAO Data Control wil not read the Access 2000 database.
The programmer does not want to use ADO. Is there a work arount to this?
Thanks

Some months ago I wrote a tip of the month that I call 'What I Learned About
DAO 3.6 and Jet 4.0'. Link to http://www.buygold.net/tips then look for the
July 1999 tip of the month. A sample program is provided that creates a Jet
4 [Access 2000] database.

Cheers,
Larry Rebich

What does the programmer have against ADO?

Rex: See the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

to Access 2000 or 2002 (Q238401)

P.S. -- I found the above article by searching for "Access 2000" at
http://www.codehound.com/vb .

You have to update the VS6 with Service pack 5, and the DAO Data control get
the Access2000; Value for connect property.
