Dim myConnection As OleDbConnection = New _
OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
database = c:\concord.mdb")
Dim myDataAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter()
Dim myDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet()
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

' OPen the database connection
myConnection.Open()
'Now execute the command
myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
' Fill DataSet object with data
myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "customers")

'Close the database connection
myConnection.Close()
' Set the dataGrid properties to bind it to our
data

Which line is crashing? Verify that the file Exists first... If
File.Exists("C:\concord.mdb") then if it does, make sure you that you have
persmissions to the file and to the database... If you have a username and
password, make sure you include the rest of the connectionstring.
http://www.connectionstrings.com . If that doesn't fix it, put a breakpoint
next to your commandtext once it's completed and make sure you can fire it
against Access itself without ADO.NET. If you could tell me where the
exception is being raised, it'd help a lot in diagnosing it.

HTH,

I got passed that error now it is saying the same thing at
the myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(). Any
ideas I also sent you an email.

Hi Anonymous,

Why are you using that

the myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery().

I do not understand why you need it

Why not try what happens when you set a ' before it

I hope this helps?
