Database Connection

Hi All

I am trying to connect to database and following method works fine,
With theatorDB
.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
.ConnectionString = "User ID=Admin;Password=;" & _
"Data Source=C:project/new/theator.mdb;"
.Open
End With

But I want to Use variable for database path like
path = project/new/theator.mdb

and want to put source = path

but I tried and doesn't work. Would anyone can help me.

Thanks in advance

This is an easy one

Dim PathToFile as string
PathToFile = "C:\project\new\theator.mdb"
With theatorDB
.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
.ConnectionString = "User ID=Admin;Password=;Data Source=" & PathToFile & ";"
.Open
End With

A bottomless pit, I'm sure it came with the place, who would dig one on purpose?

Hmm, do note that on your way, you are making use of ODBC rather than OLEDB, so the difference is rather big.
