Yes, I discovered that. I ran MDAC_typ.exe and then Wdvfpdsn.exe. Fixed it right up. I had done this eons ago on my main machine and recently discovered that a client's machine was having a problem. I just couldn't dredge up the solution I'd found earlier. Now I've put a memo in my "things I don't want to forget how to do" file, and, as long as I remember where this file is, I'll be ready when the next time rolls around... Are you taking any bets? Have a great day.
