Can't connect to MS access data base in NB.net 2008 Express edition

I am using vista 64 bit. I am working with vb.net 2008 express edition. I can make a success full connection to the data base but can't display any data on the form? The binding navigator tool strip will be grayed out. I am following Vb.net step by step Microsoft book. Even the original example program given to connect to access database do the same thing. Is this eror because MS.jet.oledb 4.0 isn't supported by 64 bit vista, please assist what is the solution now. Thanks.

nobugz is right, Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 has no 64-bit version, change the target cpu to x86 may be a walk-around solution.
