How to make DAO connection in VC++ 6.0 ?

[shivditya]

when I added new class of type MFC class and given base class as CDaoRecordset and clicked ok,

Wizard opens Database option dialog box ,selecting DAO radio button. When I selected Data.mdb file,it gives error

Unrecognized Database format. My file is not corrupt ,as odbc connectivity works fine. But to avoid DSN creation I want

DAO connectivity. Does I have to install anything,so that DAO Connectivity is possible ?if yes where can I get it.

I have VC++ 6.0 and Access 2000.

Try do add this line in the beginning of your App class InitInstance method:

AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x601;

It's also possible that VC6 (very old) may not be able to handle .mdb files saved with MS Office 2003/2007, unless they are saved in a mode that's compatible with Offfice 97.

Good luck.

I added the line but it didnot help,while adding the class itself ,step comes where we have to give path to mdb and there only error comes

Did you ever hear that Google exists?
Then type in in Google Search box MDAC and look at a couple of found items...
