    Will this VB 6 code still work on a computer without Microsoft Access 2007?

    Something along the lines of:
    cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=stuff.accdb;Persist Security Info=False"

    This is for a school project. I'm trying to access a database called stuff.accdb from my VB project.
    The problem is, stuff.accdb is a 2007 Microsoft Access file, and on the school computers, there is only Microsoft Access 2003. Can visual basic still obtain information from this file regardless?
    (same version of VB 6)

    This is due after the break, and so i cannot access the school computers.
    Please give some insight! thanks

    Probably easiest to just EXPORT one table, and IMPORT it at school.

    I have not actually worked with Access 2007 or later but if it holds true to form then all you need is the database file and your program no need to have Access on the computer at all to run your program.
    Always use [code][/code] tags when posting code.

    You just need the right version of MDAC for the DB your trying to access...
