Not a solution - just a suggestion
Try the usual 'update to latest' packs

IE install the latest Jet for that OS 
Latest Service pack for that OS
Make sure all the data options for that version of Office are installed etc.

Hope this helps

Don't you need the Borland Database engine on the machine to handle dBase
5.0?  Try googling for that or for "BDE"

So here's the dilemma.  I have an mdb that is executing
DoCmd.TransferDatabase to pull a .dbf file in.  This work great on every
machine except for one.  On the problem machine, the code throws an
error (paraphrased):  "run-time error 2507: the type "DBASE 5.0" is not
an installed database type".

I've googoled but to no avail.  WHat's really kicking my butt is that
I've heard of this one befroe, I know it.  But I can't find any
solutions anywhere.

Has anyone seen this, or have a link to a KBase article or something I
can use to guide my way througha troubleshoot? Respectfully,
