Could someone tell me if databases created in Access 2000
format are compatible with Visual Basic 6? I can't seem
to get VB to read my newly created Access files.

This is a group about the transition VB6 -> VB.NET. You will more
likely get an answer to your question if you post it to one of the
microsoft.public.vb.database[.*] groups.

Hi there-

You need to download the service packs for VB6. One of them (either 3 or 4)
includes the updated access functionality. Hope this helps!

Yes. See the following:
