Excel 2k, win2k both updated
Wishing to link to an Access2k db.
Any attempt to 'get external data' causes excel to stop responding; no link
or external data window opens.
Have tried a repair, a reinstall, cleared the excel reg.key, cleared all tmp
files, uninstalled and reinstalled, all with no change.
Suggestions as to what next?
This works fine on my other sys, win2k and winxp
 
You may need to custom install ODBC (Open Database connectivity) fro
the office setup disk. You should be able to run the disk to add thi
functionality without re-installing everything.

I don't think that this is installed by default. In XL97 which I a
using at present this puts an item into Control Panel. Can't remembe
what 2000 does
 
The problem is cured; caused apparently by my Silicon Image raid utility
application, written in Java, causing a conflict. - Closed the utility and
now all ok

MDAC 2.8 , includes ODBC, installed and tested with MS Component Checker,
all OK
