I am not sure but after checking the version numbers of MSJet40.dll, DAO360.dll and several others. It appears that Microsoft has upgraded everyone to an advanced security fix version of JET SP-8 after receiving this months Windows Update automatic security upgrades. It would have been nice to have received a notification .;) Not sure what this will do to Jet Sandbox mode. You can check quickly for the install through the control panel add/remove programs and look at bottom for MS HotFix 837001. This doesn't apply to the OS's Windows Me and below. Here are the relevant Url's. Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-014 Vulnerability in the Microsoft Jet Database Engine Could Allow Code Execution (837001) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-014.mspx http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=837001 Old Jet Service Pack 8 File Manifest http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=829558 The only reason I noticed was I was looking at an article on BBC Scotland news site describing a 19 year old from Aberdeen, Matt Thompson who brought the security fault to Microsoft's attention. They happened to mention the fault was in JET, which piqued my interest to look further. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3630649.stm -- Marty Connelly Victoria, B.C. Canada
