Visual Studio .NET - unrecognized database format *.accdb

I bought a new Laptop HP Pavilion G4-1201TU. I got Window 7 Basic pre installed. I format the system and installed Window 7 64Bit.

Now I am trying to run my existing .NET project and getting below error. I confirm that this particular code is running on my other system, but not on this new Laptop.

Please help me

This error indicates that the Microsoft Access database  has become corrupted. 

If you have access to a copy of Microsoft Access, you can try to open and repair the adTempus database file (named in the error message cited above). If the repair process succeeds.

Hi

*.accdb is MS-Access 2007 format, if you want to connect this DB using .Net,
use this provider

"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=DATABASEFILE.ACCDB

I hope this will help you.

HI,

The solution for unrecognized database format *.accdb is just replace provider attribute’s value of the connection string like this

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

Old value was

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0

New Value is

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

I agree with you, as I mentioned that the same code it working on my other system..there I am using 
"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=DATABASEFILE.ACCDB
