objCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
dgData.DataBind()

lblMessage.text += "<br />Error message - " & objError.Message
lblMessage.text += "<br />Error source - " & objError.Source
END TRY

END Sub

My error is as follows:

Error message - The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
Error source - System.Data

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Sparky,

Try

Dim myConnection as NEW

("myConnection"))

Thanks for the prompt reply Elton! Now I get a new error message.
Apparently something is starting to work.

Error message - Could not find installable ISAM.
Error source - Microsoft JET Database Engine

 

[Sparky Arbuckle]

Error message - No value given for one or more required parameters.
Error source - Microsoft JET Database Engine

This is the new error. I am so confused!

Try full path for the access database like
value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\SomePath\Customers.mdb" in appSettings.

And grant Read/Write/Update permissions of the access file
to ASPNET account.
