See if the following helps:

Dim ConnectionString As String

ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=e:\My Documents\dBase;Extended Properties=dBase IV"
Dim dBaseConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)
dBaseConnection.Open()

Dim dBaseCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM MyDBase",
dBaseConnection)
Dim dBaseDataReader As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataReader =
dBaseCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess)

While dBaseDataReader.Read
Console.WriteLine(dBaseDataReader("Column1").ToString)
Console.WriteLine(dBaseDataReader("Column2").ToString)
Console.WriteLine(dBaseDataReader("Column3").ToString)
End While

dBaseConnection.Close()

I have had very good success with ODBC. Set up the database directory under
System DSN. All your connection string has to say is "DSN=XXX"
