I'm getting a bit frustrated.
1) I want to evaluate Access 2007 Beta but can't install it
and posting the question concerning this produces no
rewsponse from these geniuses.

2) Going to abandon Access 2003 and use some other database
or programming language.

3)Try Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.
but can't even make a connection to my existing data.
And again, posted the question concerning this produces no
answers.
I would call Microsoft tech support but I already have a
second mortgage on my home so I can't get a loan.

No one seems to have any answers.

Here's my question:

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 but easier to expose the project to
my data, but no.
What should the value be for the Connection String? The path
to the mdb?

Personnaly, this run for me :

Dim conn as OleDb.OleDbConnection
conn New OleDb.OleDbConnection("provider=microsoft.jet.oled b.4.0;" &
"data source='" & pathOfTheDB & "';")

And where do I insert this? I get the same error when
I insert it into the ConnectionString in the Add Connection
dialog.
