Hi Erland,

I don't have the original post in my Windows Mail so I am replying to the
group by replying to your post. ADP stands for Access Data (or Database -
It's been a while)
Project. With Access 2000 you had the option to continue use .mdb files
that used primarily JET engine and you could use linked tables to connect
to SQL 2000. Using .adp you were directly connected to the SQL databases
and you could not use JET engine.


JA, it seems you can not use Access 2000 with SQL 2005
