It's been many years since I have done this. I want to read an Access database table from my vb.net windows form. I'm sure I don't have the connection string correct but not sure how to fix it. here is my present connection string in the app.config:
<add name="MRIAccess" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=H:\ShipLabel.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;" />
Here is my code to read the table:
I get this error:
{"ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"}
What am I doing wrong?
<add name="MRIAccess" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=H:\ShipLabel.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;" />
Here is my code to read the table:
Code:
Dim connStringAccess As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MRIAccess").ConnectionString
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT * from [ShippingLabel] s; "
Using connection As New OdbcConnection(connStringAccess)
' Create the Command and Parameter objects.
Dim command As New OdbcCommand(queryString, connection)
Try
connection.Open()
Dim dataReader As OdbcDataReader = _
command.ExecuteReader()
Do While dataReader.Read()
Console.WriteLine( _
vbTab & "{0}" & vbTab & "{1}" & vbTab & "{2}", _
dataReader(0), dataReader(1), dataReader(2))
Loop
dataReader.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
Finally
connection.Close()
End Try
Console.ReadLine()
End Using{"ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"}
What am I doing wrong?
