help! ADO ActiveX-ctl. and MS Access

i can't read or write to an Access-database (*.mdb) with the MS ADO ActiveX
Control. everytime i try to use
a method or property of "Recordset" i get an error (code = 1, "An input parameter
is invalid."), but i can get
and set the file, the recordset itself and so on.

does anyone has a solution (don't have
the sql-toolkit)

thanx

I had little luck using ADO I found using recordset and connection objects
more fruitful. I also found that those objects only seemed to work with
local ODBC databases. I may still have some examples somewhere though you
may have to replace the objects with whatever data objects are loaded on
your machine. I also found very old object libraries can be a bit buggy
(Microsoft like) Later upgrades from the Microsoft website are better (MDAC)
.. It is also very difficult in the labview environment (5.1 at least ) to
tell what has caused your error exactly, they tend to be pretty generic
errors reported,. I was using Access 97 haven't tried 2000 yet .

I use LabView to connect with MS Access 2000 and it works well.
