3343 Unrecognized database format

:banghead: I KNOW my database is not corrupt. I cannot get the following command to work on any of three computers with MS Access 2007, no matter what database I specify (Northwind or my own).

I'm running Access 2007 on Windows 7 platforms. I have both DAO 3.6 and Access 12.0 libraries checked in the references section. My DAO commands work fine from INSIDE Access, but I'm trying to connect to an Access db through Outlook. I also ran the test using Excel, and it failed there as well.

What I am I missing?:dunno

Sub Test_DAO

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

Const dbPath As String = "C:\Users\e574651.GLOBAL\Documents\Northwind 2007.accdb"
On Error Resume Next
Set db = DAO.OpenDatabase(dbPath)
'Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("customers")

Debug.Print Err.Number, Err.Description


End Sub
