.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / July 2006Can't Create New Data Connection
Just installed Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. When attempting to link to a data source which is a ms access database I get the following error (if I wrote it down properly). Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at 0. I thought it would be a bit easier to expose the project to my data, but no. Any help will be appreciated.

I copied this text from your message, google should return plenty results "Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting" You lack the word 'index' to get a result from the entire error message. SignatureHappy coding! Morten Wennevik [C# MVP] No Results, again. Tried several variations. Does it return anything when you search the string?

Searching for "Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting" on http://www.google.co.uk or http://www.google.no should return 143 hits The number of hits may vary based on location if you use http://www.google.com, but you should at least get some hits anywhere in the world. > No Results, again.
