Hi Paul

If the file is only required for developement does that mean I can remove it
from the package completely with out effecting the operation of the program?
As for the database driver, could you please help me clarify this, I am only
using what is in the VB6 package. I have used some SQL code for a few of the
queries but I am not sure of which driver it would be.

Look forwards to hearing from you

Yes.

I can't tell you because I don't know what kind of database and database provider you are using.

sorry if Iam being slow but is there a default database and provider for VB6?
If not then I assume I am using a SQL database but have no ides about the
provider, how do I find out this information? As I have said before I am very
new to the database field.

sorry

Somewhere in your code you should have a connection string (if using ADO) or Data Control property
(Connect, DatabaseName, ConnectionString) that will identify the database you are using.

I am just being a bit thick.

In the connection string of the adodc is this line:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;Persist Security Info=False;Data
Source=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Countryside
Cottages\Countryside.mdb

As I know you will be aware this also includes the address of the actual
database.

should I be using a different provider? is this one too old to use?

Cheers for all your help this far

Jet 3.5 is a bit outdated. If possible you may want to use Jet 4.0 instead. The use of 3.5 may be
the source of your missing provider error.
