I am having problems with an app that uses the Access Database Engine 2010 on machines where Office 2003 is installed. I am getting a "not a valid password" when trying to programmatically access an ACCDB file.

What could be the problem? I am guessing it is a conflict between the JET providers of Office 2003 and the Access Database Engine 2010.

What JET provider is installed with Office 2003?

Access 2000, Access 2002 and Office Access 2003 create a Microsoft Jet 4.0 format database file.

I suspect that the actual version of the Jet 4.0 provider files (DLLs, etc.) would depend more on the OS + Service_Pack and Updates since Jet is a core Windows component (i.e., it is included in a vanilla Windows install).
