ANS which access version are you using because this pice of code works fin for me if I am using VB.NET 2008 and access 2003.

Private Sub mControlInitialise()
        Dim dbConn As OleDbConnection
        Dim strQuery As String
        Dim dbComm As OleDbCommand
        Dim strConnect As String
        Dim objDataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter
        Dim objDataSet As New DataSet()

        strConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + _
                     "Data Source=C:/Users/Qinisela/Documents/horizon24.mdb;"
        

        dbConn = New OleDbConnection(strConnect)
        dbConn.Open()
        Try

            strQuery = "SELECT * FROM Product WHERE ProductCode = '" + Page.ClientQueryString() + "'"
            dbComm = New OleDbCommand(strQuery, dbConn)
            objDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(dbComm)
            objDataAdapter.Fill(objDataSet)
            Me.dgLaptops.DataSource = objDataSet
            Me.dgLaptops.DataBind()

            Try
                If objDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
                    mstrFileName = Server.MapPath("ProductXML/" +   objDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(0)("Xml_Filename").ToString())
                End If

            Finally
            End Try

        Catch ex As Exception

        Finally
            dbConn.Close()
        End Try

    End Sub
