Symptoms
Attempting to use a Jet workspace to open an ODBC datasource based on a Jetdatabase can cause Visual Basic to hang. This is essentially causing Jet totalk to itself. This is not a supported way of accessing an Access/Jetdatabase.
Resolution
You can use an ODBC workspace to open an ODBC datasource based on a Jetdatabase. You can also open a Jet database directly, without an using anODBC datasource.
