Can't Connect with Access 2013

Question

Hi, there!
Am reworking a successful Access 2003 VBA project into Access 2013 VBA, which I am brand new to.  I have encountered a problem with Access 2013 when attempting to connect to a table in order to create a recordset.  The Access 2003 connection
string does not work in Access 2013. To confirm this, I dug out an old Access 2003 VBA beginner's manual and typed a sample program directly from the textbook.  The sample code fails to successfully open a connection in Access
2013 but, when I then copy and paste the program into Access 2003, it works fine.
Online documentation useful for rudimentary programming activities being as scant as ever, am deeply appreciative of any real-time help rendered.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for responding, Bruce.
The table I'm connecting to is local to the current database project.  It's all standalone.  In other words, I launch Access 2013, I create a table, then I connect to the table. Really pretty straightforward stuff.
Here's the code template I use to do it in Access 2003:
Dim cnMyConnection As ADODB.Connection    
Dim rsMyRecordset As ADODB.Recordset       
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set cnMyConnection = CurrentProject.AccessConnection
Set rsMyRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
    With rsMyRecordset
        .ActiveConnection = cnMyConnection
        .CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
        .LockType = adLockReadOnly
        .CursorLocation = adUseClient
        .Open "tblMyTable"
    End With
etc.
This works in Access 2003.  The recordset is created and then things can move forward.  But Access 2013 has all kinds of problems with it, beginning with improper use of the keyword "New."  It seems to demand a whole new syntax.
Thanks for any insight you can provide, Bruce!
