Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8?

Shyguy

This may be off topic and if it is I am sorry. I just installed MD
Office 2003 and left Access XP (2002?) on the computer. If I try to
open a database with the new Access I get an error that "Microsoft Jet
4.0 Service Pack 8 or later" must be on the machine. Microsoft Update
doesn't show it as a need download and the highest Service Pack I can
find is 7. I would think that the CD would have installed everything
needed to run the program.

Anyone have any information on this?

My understanding is that Service Pack 8 is not yet available. I got that
error once (or maybe twice) with the Beta 2 of Access 2003, but I don't get
it any more, and I didn't do anything special. I do, regularly, use the
Office Update of Windows Update, but SP 8 has not been loaded because it
isn't available.

Thanks for the reply. I am not running the beta but I always get the
error. I wonder if it is because I left the other Acces on the
machine. I don't get any problems with the older version.
