Re: Problem accessing Access database from VB2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


Vista has WDAC , and WDAC has no ADOX and you can`t install MDAC ( as it
is a lower version )
see this thread

the solution seems to be to use
tlbimp msadox.dll /out:ADOX28.dll

Then put this ADOX28.dll file on your development machine and add reference
to it.


however you should do this on a XP computer wich has MDAC 2.8 installed and
then copy the resulting assembly to the vista machine
( this is how i understood it )

We've got a VB2005 program written some time back that we're trying to
do some maintenance on still from within VB2005 but now running on a
Vista Business PC (which I think may be relevant to the problem).

When we go to start up the project from within the VS environment
there are several build errors relating to an inability to find the
ADOX library. I can't remember without hours of reorientation and
checking back whether this was a part of MDAC or should be accessible
from System.Data.OleDB. If it was MDAC then this is something that may
have changed in a Vista environment because IIRC the traditional MDAC
calls no longer work in the same way.

Anyone recognise this problem please and can suggest a fix?

Many thanks
