DataBase Format to Link from Visual Basic 6.0 Form by Data Tool.

[Guest]

When I am linking Access datbase from Visual Basic Form using Data Tool (Tool
Box). During running program it says " Unrecognized Database Format" How to
format my Database. As When for same VB form I am using student.mdb file
(Which came in CD of Database Tutorial Book) it runs.

Let me guess (since you don't say). You're trying to connect to a database
created by Access 2000 (or newer), and you haven't installed all of the
service packs for VB6.
