ISAM Run Time Error 3170

[sigmabeta]

I want to connect a Text DB to an MSAccess application.
I am using Access97 and/or Access2000.
I have downloaded an exucutable named "eda-isam-1_2_6-windows-x86.exe" from

http://www.easysoft.com

which should have installed an ISAM on my pc.
I have even launched the command "regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\Mstext40.dll" (or msText35.dll in case of Access97) as suggested somewhere but when I run the following instruction:

dbs.TableDefs.Append tdfMyTable

(where I have already opened dbs as Database and all ...)
I receive the same error message 3170
"Unpossible to find installable ISAM".

Is anyother *.dll to install or anyway something I forgot to do just to work with a Text Format object as a normal connected DB?(Update, add, delete, ...)
Tnx all.

It has been a while since I have seen that error text. For Access 97 the fix goes something like...


Go into add remove programs and change the existing installation.

With add remove programs open remove the Text ISAM. Then do the same to reinstall it. Or if it is grayed out, navigate to %Windows%\System32\ and delete the offending ISAM file (mstext35.dll for text and Access 97). Install the text ISAM.

There at least used to be a Microsoft KB on it. You may have luck searching there.
