[AccessD] Msado15.dll and Sqloledb.dll overwritten makes Access dbcrash

The ADO version is the one installed with Jet SP-8 and with Office 2003.
Do you happen to have 2003 on one of your own machines?  We've had a few
odd surprises when an AXP installer was built on a machine with O2003
installed, even though we use Wise and SageKey.

Hi everyone!

I have an odd situation with a client who has an Access XP database FE
with a linked SQL BE, running on WinXP, SP1.

I didn't write the Access App, so I'm coming into this cold.

We installed an imaging application (File Magic, network version, 5 user
license) which uses MSDE.

Before install File Magic, his Access DB was working just fine.  The two
files and versions are:

       FileName      Ver Before          Ver After
     Msado15.dll     2.71.9030.0         2.80.1022.0
     Sqloledb.dll    2000.81.9042.0      2000.85.1022.0

After installing File Magic, it works, but the Access DB links to the
SQL BE are hosed.

Obviously File Magic is installing newer versions of these files over
the older ones, but what the heck could cause it to hose up the Access
db's links?

If you keep a copy of the older files, then, after installing File Magic
but before rebooting, copy the older ones OVER the newer ones, then
reboot...BOTH apps work just fine.

Has anyone ever seen this before?  Or am I out there on the edge
again....bleeding profusely once more?

Btw, the File Magic techs haven't heard of anything like this before.
If it wasn't a result of a problem INSIDE File Magic, they have no clue.

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated!
TIA.
