Hi ahmedahsal

Please right click your project and choose the “Properties�? then select the “Build�?page. Find the “Platform target�?selection ComboBox. Please change the default “Any CPU�?into “x86�?then build your application again.

Please inform me if you meet any problem.

Sincerely,

Kira Qian

Visual Studio itself is a 32 bit application so it can use 32 bit components. But it looks like you are creating a64 bit application. There is no 64bit version of Jet. Use a 64bit data provider, or spin off your database work to a 32 bit process.
