"ADO could not find the specified provider"

I have a database app that will not run on a customer machine - a system
error message says "ADO could not find the specified provider".  The app is
trying to use ADO to connect to the MSJET driver, which evidently is not
installed on the system..

Anyone know what do I need to do to get the Msjet service running? It's not
in any online help.

TIA


Mike

Mike,

you MUST have ADO installed on EVERY client's machine. Recommended way - use
MDAC setup program, but you may find it disk-expensive. Unrecommended;)
way - investigate through Registry and file dependencies what you need for
particular provider and install only files needed, but don't ask for support
then;))

HTH,
    Alexei

Hi, Alexei

What is MDAC?

Never mind - I got the information I needed on the Microsoft web site. I was
just being lazy. Thanks.
