We have an existing VB.Net 2017 app that has been running for years on Windows 7. It was using an access database.
The system was updated and now it is Windows 10 and the database is 2019. If fails on both a 32 bit and 64 bit office and 64 bit access 2016.
Error
3706 Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed
The app is 32 bit and must stay 32 bit.
Connection string first tried
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\ATX QBFILES\xxxxxx.mdb;
then tried
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.15.0;Data Source=C:\ATX QBFILES\xxxxxx.mdb;
I am at a loss to understand exactly what it is missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.
