DOC: Visual Basic Does Not Allow You to Build OLE DB Providers
This article was previously published under Q196956
The Visual Basic 6.0 documentation incorrectly states that Visual Basic 6.0
can build an OLE DB provider.
While Visual Basic 6.0 does not allow you to build an OLE DB provider, it
does ship with libraries that allow you to build components that implement
an OLE DB Simple Provider. You could create such a component to interact
with text files or custom file formats. The AXData project group sample
demonstrates how to build such a component.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 3
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 4
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5 Service Pack 1
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.6

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
