hello,

Using VBScript to connect the Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb) file getting
error on Vista, but it is working on XP

connstr="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Uid=xx;Pwd=yy;Dbq=c:\users.mdb;"

The following error using Vista

"[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]'(unknown)' is not a valid path.
Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected
to the server on which the file resides."

Could you please give some solutions /suggestion to fix this error?

Thanks
JD

I would suspect that what is needed for the solution to run on XP is there,
and it's not there in the same manner on Vista. You might have a versioning
issue in using MDAC between the two O/S(s) or it might even be a security
issue on Vista.

You have heard of the Vista UAC manifest that a program may need to use to
present security credentials for an application running on Vista? Use Google
and look up information about the UAC manifest on Vista that a program may
need to use.

You cannot expect that something that runs on XP is going to run on Vista,
without some possible tweaks.
