Sorry I got distracted there..and besides I am not using Vista, so not
really sure how much this helps.
I went back and tried again to connect Base to an accdb file under
Windows 7, even after installing the MS visual studio for .net thinking
that it should work..it didn't.
Just now however I went to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downlaods
In the search box at the top of that page I entered:
Access 2007 Connectivity
The first two entries returned I then downloaded and installed:
--2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
--Microsoft Office Access Runtime and Data Connectivity 2007 Service
Pack 2 (SP2)
Now I opened the Base new file wizard and selected an external database
type of
MS Access 2007 (note this is the entry on the list of database
types...it is not the same as selecting MS Access)
On the next page I browsed to an accdb file that I knew I could connect
with in read/write mode under XP..and there it was.
Let me know if that helps,
Drew
