title: "Couldn't find Instalable ISAM" VB6 Data Control to Access DB
body: <p>I've just been handed an old VB6 application that uses DataControls on the form; these are referencing an MDB file (Access 2000 or 2002-2003) and have the "Connect" property set to "Access 2000;"
  Machine has recently been upgraded (Windows 7, MS Office 2010) and is now giving "Couldn't find installable ISAM" at Form load. I've read quite a bit of information regarding this issue, but I've had no luck resolving it. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I'm not sure how (or whether I should) install the missing ISAM drivers.</p></li>
  <li><p>I've tried changing the "Connect" property of the DataControl to "Access" only (no 2000) but then I get "unrecognisable database format error".</p></li>
  <li><p>I've tried updating the DB to Access 2010 (.accdb) format with the same problem "unrecognisable database format".</p></li>
  <li><p>I've tried creating a Database connection and assigning that to the DataControl control "Connect" property: doesn't work and I'm not even sure this is a valid thing to do.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Has anyone seen and resolved this issue?</p>
