I had to update a legacy program today that was written in VB6 and imports data from Access (jet) databases, the company that make the Access applications have upgraded to Access 2010 from the 2003 format that they were using so the import program immediately failed.
Luckily, Microsoft still support this scenario with the aid a new download http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734 that replaces the DAO library. Once installed, you can remove the reference to DAO 3.6 (or earlier) and add a reference to "Microsoft Office 12 access database engine object library". This new library appears to be backwards compatible with the old .MDB formats as well.
