VB6 references

[Bruce]

I want to access an Access 2000 databse from a VB6
program using DAO. I cannot identify the library I need
because I get an error message "Unrecognizable database".
What library do I need? Thanks

In VB6, you have to use ADO, not DAO

Not true, May. There's no problem at all using DAO with VB. In fact, if all
you're using is a Jet database (.MDB file), DAO is usually preferable to
ADO.
