Error 2147024769

One installation out of hundreds returned this error and was unable to
open the switchboard form, reporting

Error -2147024769
Method 'Connection' of object 'CurrentProject' failed.

offending code is:

Set Conn = Application.CurrentProject.Connection

Search of google indicates this is a rare error that many vendors have
had single occurances of and virtually no reports of fixing it.
Microsoft KB306132 addresses this issue. The reported fix is to load
the current MDAC file. Unfortunately, if you have XPSP2, you cannot do
this directly. Microsoft has a downloadable tool to check your MDAC
level, and for our single problem workstation it reported MDAC 2.7 SP1
instead of 2.8 SP1.

TOOL:

The answer was to reload XP SP2, since MDAC 2.8SP1 is not seperately
installable for XP

Here's hoping this helps some poor support tech with this obscure error
in the future!
