dotnet datatools : Access 2007 not recognized

I've been using Visual Studio 2005 Professional with .mdb files.

Now I just installed Access 2007 which have .accdb files.

Visual Studio will not let me use this as a datasource. When adding, for
example, a Access DataSource for a Gridview, I get this error message.

"Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection...Unrecognized
database format."

You need to use the ACE.OLEDB provider. The old Jet4 driver won't
work.

Look at http://www.connectionstrings.com/
