connecting to an access db

[tanneyman13]

I am using an access db as my backend for a vb.net app and I am encountering some issues. When I have my access db open within MS Access, my application cannot open the db. I am using both dao and oledb to run queries against my db. I only need to be able to read from the db but I don't know how to set dao and oledb to read only. Would this solve my problem?

Why are you using DAO with .NET?
Use the OleDB .NET Data Provider.
