ISAM Data control error.

[weeboll]

FIXED !!

I have data control on a form datControl(1) which upon opening the form in vb goes through the following process to remnove the contact between the data control and its normal database.

datcontrol.databasename = a different database
datcontrol.recordsource = "select * from tbl_dummy"
datcontrol.refresh

where tbl_dummy contains a single blank field

however when the code runs datcontrol.refresh i get an error - couldn't find installable ISAM.

which is puzzling cos i'm not connecting to anything other than access. i've been through the microsoft help for fixing ISAM's but to no avail.

the history of the program is that it was originally vb4 with access 97 and is now vb6 with access 2000. I have it working on one machine but a new one arrived last week and I don't have the know how to get it working..

All suggestions appriciated!

Assuming that the problem in VB is the same as in VBA, look up the following article in the Microsoft knowledgebase:

Thanks Pat, 90111 and 283881 both failed to resove the problem.

The solution in the event was to update the Visual Studio service pack to sp5.
