I have a connection to an access database that implements MSDataShape that works perfectly on Windows XP, now when i try to run it on Windows Vista it game me an error.

The error on vista:

Error # -2147467259 [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

The same code works perfectly in a clean xp instalation.

What’s the big secret?

  1. I tested this on Vista and Access 2000, and it worked for me. I have the latest Jet version, which should install with Vista.

    Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)     Set cn = New ADODB.Connection     With cn         .Provider = 'MSDataShape'         .CursorLocation = adUseClient         .ConnectionString = 'DATA PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;' _          & 'DATA SOURCE=c:\docs\ltd.mdb'         .Open     End With      Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset      With rs         .Source = 'SELECT * From Table1'         .ActiveConnection = cn         .CursorType = adOpenKeyset         .LockType = adLockOptimistic         .Open     End With      Set Me.Recordset = rs     Me.UniqueTable = 'Table1'  End Sub
