Please Enter MS JET OLE DB Initialization information

I tried to create an oledb DataAdapter today. As usual it asked me to
choose a database. I did. Then for the first time when I clicked next a
second form came on the screen.

It's title is: Please Enter MS JET OLE DB Initialization information
First line:Data Source - entry is the database I selected.
Second line User Name ADMIN
Third line Password I left it blank
Fourth line Provider String I tried "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" and also
without the quotes
Fifth line open Mode Default is DB_READWRITE. I left it there.

I clicked OK. Clicked next. This window opened up again. It doesn't seem
I can satisfy it. I haven't downloaded any updates or reinstalled visual
studio. so why does this pop up out of nowhere, and how do I fill it in
properly. MSDN Library was no help.

I should have signed it Dennis so people would know I'm a universal subscriber.

Hi Dennis,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you saw a dialog box "Please Enter MS
JET OLE DB Initialization information" in the DataAdapter wizard. If there
is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

As far as I know, this dialog box will popup when the connection you have
selected has some errors. I think there might be some issue here that
prevents you from connecting to the data source. Please try to go back to
the last page and click New Connection button to recreate the connection to
the data source and test it using the Test Connection button.

HTH.

You were perfectly correct. I had changed the location of my database.

Thank you.
