What Jet provider is installed with MS Office 2003?

Question

I am having problems with an app that uses the Access Database Engine 2010 on machines where Office 2003 is installed. I am getting a "not a valid password" when trying to programmatically access an ACCDB file.

What could be the problem? I am guessing it is a conflict between the JET providers of Office 2003 and the Access Database Engine 2010.

What JET provider is installed with Office 2003?

Answer 1

Access 2000, Access 2002 and Office Access 2003 create a Microsoft Jet 4.0 format database file.

I suspect that the actual version of the Jet 4.0 provider files (DLLs, etc.) would depend more on the OS + Service_Pack and Updates since Jet is a core Windows component (i.e., it is included in a vanilla Windows install).
