A little OLE DB problem

[r0ach]

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), 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.

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
