    Couldn't find an installable ISAM.

    I've been getting this erorr with my VB applications which I've created on one computer after moving them onto a differant computer. The code and application all works perfectly on the first computer, but after moving them I get this error every time I try to use a data control and connect it to a Access database.

    Could some one please give me some advice how to fix this problem?

      Hi Geoff, I suggest you update the computer that is not working to the latest mdac from microsoft. Failing that, are you trying to connect to the same access backend. Is it on the same computer? Are you using a system DSN connection?

          On the data control I've set it to the correct database which is the exact one used on the other computer, it's in the correct folder, when I set the database it let's all that, but then when I try to get a table from the database it doesn't work.

          I'll try updating the MDAC from Microsoft. If that doesn't work, then I'll post again.

          Thanks for the rapid responce.

          Geoff.

              Alright I've just downloaded and ran MDAC 2,8 which from what I can see is the latest version from the microsft site. I installed it and it said that it's not needed to be installed as it's already installed and works perfectly. So I'm guessing that's not the problem. Is there any other things that may help me with this?

              Thanks,
              Geoff.

                      Well, my program is linked to an Access database which has 3 tables. The program all works perfectly on another system. I've had this problem with each application I've moved from computer a to computer b. On computer b each of the applications work flawlessly.

                      I don't really see how telling you what my applications do could help the problem being fixed, as it occurs with any application trying to connect to an access database that's been made in Visual Basic 6,0.
