I have an Access database and I'm wanting to make a VB frontend. I did this years back and it was pretty straight forward. Today I downloaded VS 2012 and tried to create a new Data Source and I pointed it to my database, and then I get an error saying "Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Provider". Of course I went go Google for answers. I found a lot of people with the same problem, but the discussions were over my head. I did learn that OleDB doesn't work on x64 Windows which is what I'm using. I did find some that said you needed to compile your program to work on x86. I went into the compile options and set it to x86, but still get the same error....I'm not sure if there is more to it then just changing it in the options or not...do i need to download a x86 driver?
Is it posible to get this to work on x64 machines? If so, can someone help me out or point me in the right direction?
I'm using VS 2012 Express and Access 2010, Windows 7 x64
Thanks for your help!
