How To Update Jet Componenet on Win 7 ?

[Gary]

I just got a new system with Win 7 Pro installed. I loaded in Office 2000
and Office 2003. During loading of 2003, I removed everything of 2000 except
for Access 2000. So I have both Access 2000 and Office 2003 on my system.

I tried to do a regedit to change my Jet to allow non-standard filename
extension and there wasn't a Jet folder. What do I do ???

This is the registry path I wanted:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Text

Can someone tell me how can I see this Jet folder ???

Thank You,

Gary

If you're just wanting Win7 to open a file with an extension other than .mdb
and .mde, its just a matter of associating the file extension with Access
which can be done without digging into the registry. Since I'm not on Win7,
I can't give you specifics, but most likely when you click on a file with
the extension, Win7 should present some dialog box indicating that you need
to select the application to use. That same dialog should have an option
indicating to always use the selected app with that file extension.

We're discussing this problem in another forum. Please don't post to
multiple forums. We ask this is because different people can respond
to your postings in different newsgroups duplicating effort on our
part.
