title: Problems Adding aceoledb.dll as a reference in VB 2010
body: <p>I'm using VB2010 and Access.</p>
  
  <p>My connection string works absolutely fine</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=E:\Database1.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have the Access Database Engine installed on my machine and I'm trying to add the ACEOLEDB.DLL to my references but I get the following error</p>

  <p>The file exists but I can't add it. I'm assuming by adding the dll it will rule out the need for the end user not to install the Access Database Engine??</p>
