    I have an existing Application in vb, which use dao 3.5 to connect Access 97. On Updation of my database from Access 97 to Access 2003. i got the error "UnRecognized Database Format". I tried with ADO and database is working well. But i have to use DAO. For this, I Coverted my refernece to dao 3.6 library. But even then i am facing the same error. Please suggest me a solution for this.... Thanks Manish

      IMHO, ADO would be the much more preferred method when using databases, fullstop. HTG

        DAO died a long time ago. Even the latest version (3.6 I believe) won't work with an Access 2003 database. You'll either have to go back to Access 97, or 2000 (I think!), or you'll have to switch to ADO if you want to use Access 2003.
