Hi, The Problem is on your Access Database version.

If you using the data base that is higher version, data control wont access it.

Use ADODB for accessing the Different versions.

Or

Change the Data base to the earlier version.

If you are using Access 2003 or below please add references for ADO 2.1 library if u r using ADO or DAO 3.51 if using otherways.............

Just choose the highest reference.
