ive been told multiple things to it being due to me running with and X64 CPU and not having the device drivers for ISAM and it being due to my connection string but nothing has been clear or helpful yet
DataSource should have a space, what version of ace do you have installed, not sure if there is a 64bit ace, is someone making you use access?
just thought access would be easier and now my project dead line is fast approaching
and im not sure what ace version i have installed I presume i have a ace version installed but ive literally never touched databases or OleDb before this
access isn't easier than anything
you can't assume you have ace installed, especially if you didn't install it
is this a work project using access?
or a school project?
unless something is absolutely requiring access, then it's not worth your time
Alternatives are things like sqlite
or sql express
or postgres
NB: sqlite requires no special installation either
Ohhhh might have a look at that then
Yeah might need to have a look at installing it then ðŸ˜
Yeah it’s a school project
Don't use access unless you absolutely have to
