Author  Topic  snez Starting Member 16 Posts Posted - 2008-10-23 : 11:45:19 I'm trying to create a new connection to an Access 2007 (*.accdb) database but get the following error when I hit the "Test Connection" button - "Unrecognized database format". I selected "Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB)" for the data source. When I browse for the db file name my 2007 db does not display. I use the * to display all files and then select the 2007 db and hit "Test Connection". That is when I get the error. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thx.
