 Access 2000 4.0 Provider line fails?

Using Access 2000, this basic code fails on the second line with this
message: "Could not find installable ISAM,"
with error number -2147467259 (80004005).  I'm using Windows 2000 beta 3
(2031).  What's wrong?

Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DataSource=D:\User\prices.mdb;"

You should have a space between Data and Source.

However that may not be the problem. Are you sure you have the 4.0 drivers
installed?

Later...

Thanks, that was indeed the problem. Someone should tell MS developers don't
like meaningless (from a program logic view) spaces!

Actually solving that probelm then caused a different error, which was
solved by running the workgroup administrator in MSOffice.  (There was a
third error, which was solved by re-opening the database as shared; even
though the default was shared, this somehow opened in exclusive mode,
perhaps because I had created it from scratch and JET set it to the setting
it used when creating the db, i.e. exclusive.)

I still don't have ADO help though, but that's on another thread.
