HOWTO: Have Your ODBC Jet 3.5 and 4.0 Applications Co-exist (Q244040)
xx
One of the news groups says to execute (install) both MDAC_typ.exe and Jet40sp3_Comp.exe. (I wonder how that differs from Jet40SP5_9xNT.exe?)
INFO: MDAC Version 2.6 and Later Do Not Contain Jet or Desktop ODBC Drivers (Q271908)
Instructions
MDAC would not install until IE 4.72 was upgraded. The IE 6 install downloads 21 Meg and includes Outlook. Give me a break.
