Connecting to ACCDB format MS-ACCESS database through OLEDB

I've recently made another question about connecting to MS-ACCESS database with .NET in C# or VB.NET. It worked just as intended with MDB, but with accdb it caused an exception in

conn.Open();

which follows:

Is there another way to do this? My original intention (like stated in the original question) is gathering some (actually, a lot of) fields.

Solution

  • Use ACE 4 driver, download it here then use following connection string:

    "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\marcelo.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword;"
