DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalisation if you want to be taken seriously.

save your access database file in 2003 format after that your code will wor

or

if your Access database is in 2007 format then change your provider to Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0
