Thanks Naomi. When you ask ".. installed on THAT machine?" did you mean the machine holding the database or the machine from which I am running the routine? I am working from my local PC and yes the driver is installed there. The SQL database is installed on a remote server. I don't know if Jet is installed there or not. I am accessing it via SSMS. The server btw is running Server2008 64 bit. I hadn't thought about that difference.
As an aside, the blog you referred me to lists a series of commands like this:

sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
reconfigure

The first line is executable in the query window and produces direction to reconfigure. How do you do that if the second line doesn't do it?
