data control in vb6 doesn't connect to access 2000 db

[ravijalandhar]

When I place a data control on a form in VB6 and try to connect to an Access
database(version 10.0.2616.0), I get the message "unrecognised database
format" while selecting the recordsource in the properties window.

Check what version of DAO you've got included with your VB6 application.
Odds are it's 3.5x. You need DAO 3.6 to work with Access 2000, 2002 and
2003.

You need to make sure you have JET 4.0 as it will not work with the previous
version:

BTW both Doug and Bob gave you the correct answer. Jet 4.0 is DAO
3.6.
