What could cause this db err msg "Could not find installable ISAM"

[midi25]

Hi am working through a book and one of the examples uses a ms access db. Everything works fine until I add this syntax to fill a dataset with the results from my dataadapter.

objCommand.Fill(ds, "tblUsers")

The error msg i am getting is :

Could not find installable ISAM

What could be causing this and have you had the same problem.

Please help

Thanks

Well I have never had this error before when working with any type of ADO. although what it sounds like is that you have a file that wasn't installed from office. sometimes default settings don't install everything so I would try running Microsoft Office Setup once again and install EVERYTHING. Remember to install everything all the time because you shouldn't limit yourself in any type of tools at all. the more the better and the faster and smoother things will go. Plus you have alot more option to go with if something fails. If this fails then you might want to comsider fixing your registry----> that is a whole problem in itself.

Installable ISAMs are used to get to dBase, Paradox, and FoxPro data from Access. You have to check the right checkbox in the Access install to use them.
