Blocking Unsafe Expressions - Win XP SP1 with Jet SP8, and Win XP SP2

[Stuart Conner via AccessMonster.com]

Hi all,

I have updated a database originally written in Access 97 to Access 2003. I have been testing it on two PCs:

(1) PC1 is Windows XP Pro SP1

(2) PC2 is Windows XP Pro SP2

On PC1 I got the blocking unsafe expressions messages and installed and downloaded the Microsoft Jet SP8 as suggested. This now works fine and I don't get the unsafe expressions dialogs when the database loads.

On PC2 I also got the unsafe expressions dialogs, but I cannot install Jet SP8 as the running the download says that a later download (presumably contained in Windows SP2) is already installed. Checking the file MSJet40.dll, its version is 4.0.8618.0 which is the version for the MS04-014 download 'contained' in Windows SP2.

So how can I convince PC2 that the version of the Jet engine is indeed later than Jet SP8, and it should handle the unsafe expressions correctly?

Thanks for any help,

Stuart Conner
