visual basic

When i tried to connect to access database through odbc , i am getting the following error.

You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to, or link an external Microsoft Jet or ISAM database table to your databse. Error 3423

I am accessing ODBC through Microsoft Jet engine.

This problem is only with access database.

The OS is windows 2000.

'OpenDatabase' is causing this error.

Can any body help in this regards.

Simple search in MSDN on "3423" gave this:

But, I am opening access database from vb not from Excel.
