Question

C++ / C#

I'm trying to connect ms access db to visual studio 2022 but keep getting error "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0 provider cannot be used in visual studio as it's 32 bit only"

Answer 1

Hey!
Perhaps the problem lies in the bitness of MS Access.
Open in MS Access: File -> Account -> About Access -> information about the program will appear, where its bit depth is indicated .
If 32 is indicated, then you need to demolish the office and install x64.

Second Option - compiler settings for building x86 solution. Found a hint
here . And here is the manual for setting up VS Studio 2022 to run on the desired platform.
