I have an access mdb file in a sub folder of program files running on
Vista

I have a newer version of the mdb file with an added table but when I
paste it into the above folder my vb6 program still reads the
'previous' version and cannot see the new table.

Even if rename the mdb file my vb6 program still happily returns the
data from the previous file!!

First thing I would do is a TaskBar Search and see if the file you are
accessing is in the directory you are trying to mod...sounds like you have a
dupe.

take the search results and right-click->Open File Location...that should
give you a pin-point

Hi,

Programs run within a virtual directory in Vista, ie: the
%userprofile%\appdata structure, not the Program Files. A user account will
not have sufficient privileges to change data/files within the Programs
Files directory unless it is run elevated (right click/run as admin).
