Hi,
I open a database using connection string for text file.
like,

VB

con = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|;Extended properties='text;HRD=yes;FMT=Delimited'")

and read a table(ms access). It occur exception handling error arises.

But table can open in .txt and .csv file formats

My problem is to directly access tables in my database with above connection string format

My front end is vb.net and backend is ms access.

Thank U........

You can use http://connectionstrings.com/[^] to find the correct connection string for your situation.

For Access 2007[^] or Access[^].
