SET DB error Excel VBA

[JV63]

Hi all. I updated an Access database form an older version and it now has the .accdb extension versus the .mdb.

I updated the VB code where it's pointing to the database but getting an error on the following bolded section. Thinking it's because I converted to .accdb.

idrive = "\\cdtvnas13\ops"
dbname = idrive & "\VERIFY1\DDDSUP3.ACCDB"
Set db = DAO.DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(dbname)

Anyone know what i should change? I'm thinking something like ADO instead of DAO but not sure what the proper code would be.

Thanks.

Please remind yourself of the forum rule on cross-posting and be sure to follow it in future.

What is the actual error? If you're using a DAO 3.6 reference, you need to update it to use the Microsoft Office n Access Database Objects library instead.

Cross posting? Not sure what you mean. I don't believe I posted this question in another thread but if I did, I apologize.

I'm getting unrecognized database format for my database string but I know it exists.

You posted in at least one other forum.

Did you change the reference as I suggested?

I unchecked DOA 3.6 and checked Microsoft Office 16 Access Database Engine Object Library that was closest to what you stated.

That worked.

Thank you very much and my apologies for cross posting.
