hi there people!

please do help me...
i'm trying to use VB 6's data reports to display data from dBASE tables.
i understand to use the grouping functions, i need to do a shape on the
recordset but i keep getting this error...

[runtime error -2147217805
Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification.]

here's my code..

Dim cn as new ADODB.Connection
cn.open (Provider=MSDataShape; Data Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=C:\dbaseFolder; Extended Properties=dBASE IV;)

please help!!!

or is there any other way of doing the same thing and to use
the data reports to displayed grouped data?

thanks a million!
