 Using DAO to link a spreadsheet: ISAM error

Hi,

    If I'm not mistaken,  Access uses the Excel ISAM Driver to import or
link Excel spreadsheets.  Sounds like Office/Access install didn't install
this driver.  Can you verify?  You might need to re-run the Office Setup to
install this (and other) drivers.
