[Year 12 IPM] VB and Access Problem

[Sam Gerges]

Hi all,
I am just wondering if there is someone who can help me in this issue. 
There is an issue that I have found in importing a database from 
Microsoft Access 2000 for use in Visual Basic 6. 
This causes an “Unrecognized Database Format” error (#3343). 
A temporary solution was found a while back in importing an Access 2000 database back into Access ’97 format, but doing this removes the automatic validation (letters in a field designated to numbers, and so on.) It appears that it is Visual Basic in fault at this. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, has anyone found a solution that does not involve Visual Basic 7 or Microsoft Access 2003?

Thank you,
Sam
