Using Microsoft access, ADO and D6.
Implemented an application on XP. Using a .udl file for the connection to
the database.
I need to run the application on an NT4 machine. I installed MDAC 2.8 on
the NT4 machine, and copied the .udl, the database, and the exe to the NT4
machine. When testing the connection, on the Provider tab I selected
Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE Provider, and on the Connection tab, the database etc.
I get the following error:
'Test connection failed because of an error initializing provider.
Unspecified error.'

Any ideas??

Thanks
