 App tries to open DB as MS Access 1.1 fmt instead of 2.0

Another one of those questions that only a few customers report. Our DB is
in Access 2.0 format and we ship the Compatibility Layer DLL and controls
(MSAJT112.DLL, MSAJT200.DLL, VBDB300.DLL). However, some people on startup
get the message "Incompatible Database Format". The DB is not corrupt; the
same floppies installed correctly on another machine. These customers all
had the old MSAJT110.DLL. When this was (temporarily) removed, our App
croaked with the message that MSAJT110.DLL not found. But it shouldn't
have been in the picture anyway. We do a version compare on install but I
suppose it's possible that they have some obsolete DLL. Their msajt*.*
agreed with ours on date and byte count, though.

BTW, I had MSAJT110.DLL on my disk and never had any problems. At least,
not this problem!

Ideas???

We got this one!

An obsolete VBDB300.DLL in \windows was being called instead of the one we
had put where it belongs, in \windows\system!

Line counter food.

Thanks to all who thought about it.
