Hi! Amy,

Hope you have installed Microsoft ODBC for .NET. This is must to enable VS.NET to work with ODBC drivers.

The connection string can look like,

For Access:
"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\mydatabase.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"

For any DSN:
"DSN=myDsn;Uid=username;Pwd=;"

Hope, this will help you and this is what you want.

Bye!

Ritesh.
