too many versions!

I am redistributing an application. My executable uses some data controls that use Microsoft jet 3.5 to connect to a dbase file. When I run the app I get the error "Couldn't find installable ISAM". I think this is because when I Packaged my project is packaged it with MDAC 2.1 which installs Microsoft jet 4.0 I checked the windows registry and under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Jet\3.5\ISAM Formats\ there is no entry for dbase. There is an entry for dbase in the Jet\4.0 directory, however my controls use jet 3.5. I think this is what is giving me the error. So now, I just need to find the version of MDAC that will install the Microsoft Jet 3.5 DBase drivers and windows registry. If anyone knows this, or if you think that I am way off here, please let me know.

Why don't you just use Jet 4.0 to connect to your dBASE file?

I don't know how to change that. When I use the data control and pick "UseJet" It just uses jet 3.5.

I think you can get an updated version from Microsoft that works properly with everything else (are you on VB5?)

I use VB 6.0
