If your DB is in the right location, what error message are you getting?

I used try and catch but using it i could not get the error taking place. How to catch the errors through code so that errors can be caught when exe is run?

Opening an Access database (.MDB) creates a temporary .LDB file in the same directory. Does the user logged in to the target PC have write permissions to directory C:\vai\?
