thanks colby,
i just called ivan and asked if he had tried the zipped ddb that i sent him.
the file was also not opened in protel when i zipped it. protel wasn't even
open. ivan's gonna give it a shot immediately.
but one thing you mentioned definitely threw up a flag. i have never
installed any of the service packs. while ivan is trying the zipped ddb i
sent him, i'll go to the protel site and see if i can find the service pack.
and i'll go to the microsoft site and get the latest mdac, whatever that is.
is it a new windows DLL?
thanks again, miker
