Hi,
I'm having some problems with OLE DB. I want to connect to a MS ACCESS db, but i keep getting the Error: "Cannot find the specified provider", which of course is "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"

I thought that the Provider might not be installed, but after running Microsoft's Component Checker (Available at: Microsoft.com (http://www.microsoft.com/data/)), i found that it is, in fact, installed. I also found a folder - "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ado\" - That contains all the OLE DB libs and goodies.

Can someone please help me? I was wondering if the files might just be available, but not registered (although they are in the registry), or something. :confused:

What version of the MDAC are you distributing? You should be distributing version 2.1 for Access 2000 DBs. Download the latest 2.1 release @ http://www.microsoft.com/data and install it, it should work

The Component Checker says that i have version 2.1.3711.11, but i think i'll d/l it and re-install it. Thanx
