NOTE: i have found hundreds of threads on this error, yet they all seem to suggest using the 'Microsoft access database engine'. however for whatever reason (even though its made for 64-bit office) this did not work on my machine so i was forced to find an alternate method.

  • this resolution works with:
    • 64-bit Windows 7
    • 64-bit MS Office
    • Please reply to this thread if it worked for you so i can make this a full "compatibility list"

    however if, like me, that doesnt work for you, try the following method:
    NOTE: this DOES work for office 2010 even though it is for 2007 office, dont ask me why it just does :)

In this article, I will show how to use the GridView and ListView controls to build a powerful product page with many of the features found on today's e-commerce sites.
