I have recently found a script from ArcScripts on how to get an Access table in ArcGIS programmatically and it works well. But this is for Access 2003 (.mdb extension) and earlier. The code is posted below, and I want to know how to modify it for using Access 2007 (.accdb extension) and later databases.

PS I know this code is written in VBA and I don't know if a modified version is in VB.NET or whatever else language.

Thanks, Adrian
