An Access 97 linked server in SQL Server 2K has recently stopped
working. In Enterprise Manager, the following error message appears
when attempting to view the list of tables in the linked server:

Error 7399:OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].

This linked server has not been used recently and in that time Win2K
SP4 and SQL Server 2K SP4 have both been applied. We now need to use
this linked server on a regular basis so any help will be much
appreciated.
