  1. change the target location to "%windir%\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" in properties of Data Sources (ODBC) in Control Panel\Administrative tools.

  2. Open ODBC Data Source -- open System DSN tab -- click on add--Click Microsoft access Driver(.mdb,.accdb) --- click finish

  3. Give it Data Source Name - dsname , Click on Select button---located your database file. Then clicked ok and again ok.

Make appropriate changes in your vb project with the data source name with "dsname" . Now try running your application
