query about dll file

[brandondaly]

I have a query about how MS access sees files such as msjter35.dll


I've installed a newer version of MS Jet and it has placed a new file called msjter40.dll in the system32 directory and almost all of the databases work fine. However we have a couple written by an ex-member of staff that keep stating that they cannot open msjter35.dll

Does this suggest that the system has told access to stop using the 35.dll file and some coding with the broken databases is still referencing it?

as you may notice I'm not really sure what is going on.
Many thanks for any help.

The older programs are probably referencing Jet 3.5 and therefore looking for that dll. Change the project reference to Jet 4.0 and you should be fine. Some minimal code changes may also be necessary.

Thanks and Good Luck!
