open first your connection, before executing recordset commands such as Open.

GCon.Open "your connection string here"

and make sure that the GCon is a global variable so that other forms can access it, and also, make sure that your connection has been opened before your Forms perform recordset operations...

I would suggest that, declaring you GCon in a BAS Module, and then set your project's startup object to 'Sub Main'

Public GCon As New ADODB.Connection

Sub Main()
     GCon.Open "you connection string here"

     MainForm.Show   'show your main form, or whatever form you use.
End Sub

Hope this would help you, Good luck. :)

i have tried it ,but it is still giving me error,may be am doing in the wrong way,
can i attach the project? to make u understand what are the issues?

Be sure that in the project properties the main() procedure was set in the startup object so that the connection object opens first before the other forms.
