First update your MDAC to make sure you have the right drivers for that Access version. You may also need to find Jet 4 drivers as I think someone told me they are not in the current MDAC release. Look here Microsoft MDAC (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/dataaccess.asp)

Actually speak of the devil here is the latest update today.

Access 2002 (Access XP)

[url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;282010]ACC2002: The Updated Version of Microsoft Jet 4.0 Is Available in the Download Center[url]

or

Access 2000

[url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;239114]ACC2000: The Updated Version of Microsoft Jet 4.0 Is Available in the Download Center[url]

You should find more info there and you should be able to use the existing DB.
