SYMPTOMS
========
When trying to use the Excel 97 ISAM included with DAO 3.5, a DAO 3170 error
occurs with the text "Couldn't find Installable ISAM". When using the MFC DAO
classes with DB Tracing enabled, the error may look something like the following
text:
DAO Call Failed.
pDAOTableDefs->Append(m_pDAOTableDef)
In file daocore.cpp on line 2075
scode = 800A0C62
Error Code = 3170
Source = DAO.TableDef
CAUSE
=====
The documentation from the DAO 3.5 SDK that comes with Visual C++ incorrectly
shows the connect string information for Excel 97. The information for the
Connect property shows that the connect string for Excel 97 is "Excel 97". This
is not correct.
RESOLUTION
==========
The correct string is "Excel 8.0".
