I think you got this error Path not found (Error 76)[^]

I think you have used hard-code path(Ex. F:\Database\db.mdb). If your target machine doesn't contain the F drive then it'll show the above error message.

My suggestion is use App.Path[^]
So your connection-string will be like as below.

VB

Dim strCon as string
strCon = App.Path & "\running2009.mdb"

Solution 1

Is the error "Path not found" referring to your access database location. If that's the case, check that your program is referring to correct location and preferably define the location in a configuration file.

Side-note: If this is a new program consider using VB.NET instead of VB6 which hasn't been supported for a long time...
