Installing eVC 4 is known to cause some problems for eVC 3, but I
don't remember experiencing or seeing a warning about this particular
symptom. I know I recently saw an article on Microsoft's site about
using eVC 3 and eVC 4 on the same computer. But I can find neither it
nor the newsgroup article that pointed me towards it (my database is
sometime write-only:-(
I suspect a registry setting, or database support. In particular, I've
seen one of the IDEs post a (at least somewhat) similar message
because I didn't have the right version of the JET database support. I
actually found the solution to this problem by using google to look up
the error message I saw, and wading through all the hits. With that in
mind, I just used google to look up the error message and got 83 hits.
The first few look iffy, but I _think_ you will find useful info if
you wade through them all.
