  if you have OleDB as your provider... it is discontinued... but still works with legacy OS.

  Try using ACE.

  sample from: http://www.connectionstrings.com/access-2007

  "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myFolder\myAccess2007file.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;"

  it applies to MS Access 2003 and higher.

  Hi MurrayS,

   

  Welcome to the MSDN forum.

   

  I am sorry that this queue is about .NET Framework Setup. Your problem is related to OLEDB, so I also recommend you go to ASP.NET forum for better support.

  ASP.NET forum: http://forums.asp.net/

   

  Sorry for any inconvenience.

   

  Best Regards,
