Hello Steve,

try to download previous version of MDAC.
They remove old drives from one of 2.x version

SB> I've developed a test application on my PC that uses the JET Engine.
SB> The
SB> connection string is very basic and is constructed as follows:
SB> connectionString =
SB> String.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
SB> Source='{0}'", modelName);
SB> On the development PC, this works fine. On a test PC, I get a
SB> message:
SB> The format of the initialisation string does not conform to
SB> specification starting at index 33
SB> Since the same string works on the development PC, I'm taking this
SB> to mean that there are missing drivers on the target PC. I thought I
SB> could sort this by installing MDAC 2.8, but when I went to the
SB> downloads site, it explicitly says that JET and OLEDB aren't
SB> included.
SB>
SB> What do I need to get installed to be able to open my database? Or
SB> am I wrong and there is a format error?
SB>
SB> Thanks
SB> Steve
