I am using C# in VS2008 with Crystal reports.

I can connect to Access 2003 format databases. However, I need to connect to Access 2007/2010 databases.

Can I do this with VS2008? I would appreciate help please.

Solution 1

Check out Connection strings for Access 2007[^] for connection strings that should help you connect to the database.

Thanx, I did this already inside C# to connect to the 2007 db. But, using Crystal reports, how to link the report to other than *.mdb files? It says 'unrecognidsed format' in Crystal.

Solution 2

Check the extension of ur database file.
If it is *.accdb then change it to * .mdb
