Is it the version of dao you are using? I think access 2000 needs version 3.6? Peter Meachem

I've gotten this error on several occasions. Usually, it's due to corruption/removal/inaccessability of the particular .dll for that type of ISAM file. All I do is determine which ISAM type is at fault (text, Excel, etc.) & rename the related <type>.dll to <type>.old. Then I just rerun the Office install, drill into Access (down to the data access drivers) & click on that ISAM type to reinstall the .dll & update the registry.
