I have a Windows 2000 Server with SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000 installed. Neither database program (SQL Server nor Access 2000) can open a dBase IV file. I get the following error:

Unexpected error from external database driver (8961)

I understand that both SQL and Access would have the same problem because they would both use Jet 4.0 to open the database.

So, I have installed all Windows, SQL Server and Access service packs and patches. I have the latest Jet 4.0 drivers.

I have two other Windows 2000 servers running SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000 and they can both open the dbf file.

Microsoft Technet has no information on the 8961 error. Can anyone help with this?!?
