Access and VistaWill I be able to run my vb.net 2003 applications that use OLEDB to access
"Access" databases under the Vista operating system? -- Dennis in Houston As long as the JET OLEDB Provider is present, you will. I don't know if it
is installed by default.

Maybe. ;-) I would expect it would; however! ultimately that is something that you will need to answer, by testing your application on Vista. Remember Vista only includes .NET 3.0, so the first hurdle is making sure your app runs under .NET 3.0; note .NET 3.0 expands the .NET 2.0 Framework. So this really means testing your app on .NET 2.0 ;-) Some links that may be helpful: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/default.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/netfx30.asp The first link includes links to breaking changes & obsolete apis for .NET 2.0. Also remember that Vista comes in both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) flavors. Which means that your app could run as either 32-bit or 64-bit without changing a single line of code. This may or may not cause a problem as I understand that there is no 64-bit Jet (MS Access) OLEDB driver. Remember that OLEDB drivers run in process, a 64-bit process would need a 64-bit OLEDB driver... -- Show quoteHide quoteHope this helps Jay B.

Your app was compiled for the 1.1 Framework, and as Jay has indicated it will be running under the 3.0 Framework, which is included with Vista. There may be no compatibility issues but the only way to find out for certain is to test it. Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)
