Data Connections

[AlucardCode]

Hi All I have a project which is using Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0, to connect to an access database. Windows 7 x64 does not allow my project to connect to the database. Is there another way in which I can connect to the database in Windows 7 x64 Thanks

Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not supported for x64 platform it's compatible only with x86.I'm not 100% sure but it's might be the same for Access ODBC drivers by MS.So if you desire to use them your should run your app in x86 mode.

Life is a stage and we are all actors!

Thanks, I'll try that. :)

There are no 64-bit drivers for Access. Since you cannot mix 64 and 32-bit code in the same process, you either have to use a different database engine that DOES have 64-bit drivers, you you have to force your project to compile as a 32-bit app.
