When I try to open an Access 2000 database in VB& with the Data Control,
appears a messagge, that shows: "Unrecognized database file format".

When setting your connection to the database, use:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
(instead of Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51)

Brian,

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.html then look for
the July 1999 tip of the month. A sample program is provided. You can also
download the new DAO and Jet DLL from the site.

Cheers,
Larry Rebich

He is using the Data Control which implements DAO, so this won't help him.
