Hey Everyone,

Im trying to connect an access database to a VB project using the VB Wizard option (im new to VB!!) available when you first launch the application.

The problem I am having is when I browse for the database I want to use and click OK an error message is returned:

'Unrecognised database format' and then the name of the file.

The only reason I can think of is that I am accessing Access from a server on a network. We use Citrix Metaframe which changes the image of the file but not the actual file extension in the folder which it is saved in. The file extension is .mdb

Is this a network problem or am I doing something wrong??

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

Russ:)
