How to Connect to .mdb database in MS Access

SiL3NTK0D3R asked:

Hi,
I was wondering how to connect to the database for a login form i am making in Ms Access. This is the code what i have been trying as you can code in VB from Access Forms.

Set driver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"
    Set dbfile = "G:\Databases\Game\Games.mdb"
    
    If (![file exists $dbfile]) Then
        MsgBox ("Cannot Connect To the Database!");
    End If
    
    database connect db "DRIVER=$driver;DBQ=$dbfile"

Any suggestions on how to fix it?
