I've been using Visual Studio 2005 Professional with .mdb files.

Now I just installed Access 2007 which have .accdb files.

Visual Studio will not let me use this as a datasource. When adding, for
example, a Access DataSource for a Gridview, I get this error message.

"Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection...Unrecognized
database format."

You need to use the ACE.OLEDB provider. The old Jet4 driver won't
