Hi all,

I have a VB.net program installed in a xp home with sp2,after
installation, get error "Cannot open a database from a previous version
of your application. The database is a 97 Access file. Could someone
tell me what cause this problem?

Thanks for your help!

What program? The first people to contact would be whichever company wrote
the program.

Perhaps they have an updater for the database?

This is happened only on one customer's computer system, before that I
have never got this problem. I just wonder some dll files associated
the MS database missing in my installation or his computer is missing
some system files, but I don't know what files.

Thanks for the help!
