Hi,

I have a problem with my application.
When it is run, the error displays

{"The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine."}

I tried changing Platform to X86 CPU but it could not be changed, the only available option is Any CPU.

Please advise how to get rid of this error.

Thanks

~~Make sure you have Access 2007 or higher installed on your machine.~~

[edit] Now that I think about it, the Jet 4.0 is .mdb related (pre 2007). Access 2007 and higher is .accdb related.

Thanks for reply... I already have Access 2010 installed on my system

Go to your ODBC config dialog and see if Jet 4.0 is listed. I believe Access 2007 and higher use a different database engine.

I simply changed the platform to X86 and it worked
