    Vb not recognising .mdb files
    I made a small vb project and copied the coding from a friend word for word (which works for them btw). I made up the database on access and when I try to run the project I get an error saying that vb doesn't recognise the .mdb file?? So what have I done wrong?

    Try installing Jet Engine. And also installing MDAC. Also in project properties you may need MDAC in your references. Even if you copied the code line by line you missed the references.

    You can get JET and MDAC from Here

    This all could be completely off base but unless I see code of how you are trying to access the MDB I can't give any more.
