SUMMARY
Warning To apply this service pack successfully, you need to have
Microsoft Jet version 3.51.0623 or later installed on your computer. If your
computer has an earlier version of Jet than this, you must upgrade your
computer to Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 2 (SR-2). You can get
information about Office 97 SR-2 and download the Office 97 SR-2 update from
Tools on the Web at the following address:
Failure to update your computer to the proper version of Jet may
result in damage to your database products or may result in data
corruption.
Note Jet35sp3.exe (Microsoft Jet 3.5 Service Pack 3) replaces
Jet35sp2.exe (Microsoft Jet 3.5 Service Pack 2), which is referenced on the
Microsoft Office 97 SR-2 pages on Tools on the Web
(http://office.microsoft.com/). Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 are both Year
2000-compliant; however, Service Pack 3 also includes additional security
updates that are not available in Service Pack 2. If you have not yet installed
Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3, you should install Service Pack 3.
The Jet35sp3.exe file contains an update of several .dll files that are
included with Microsoft Access 97, Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition,
Microsoft Visual Basic version 5.0 or later, and other products that
incorporate Jet 3.5x. Microsoft Jet database engine version 3.51 provides an
improved Compact utility that combines Compact and Repair into a single
process. Also, the updated version of the Jet database engine generates an
error if it encounters a problem during the Compact process, and then creates
the table, MSysCompactError, in the destination database.
Note Jetcomp.exe, which is included with Jet35sp3.exe, was updated on
September 1, 1998. You can now use Jetcomp.exe on secured databases and
databases that have a database password. Jet35sp3.exe now includes Jet 3.52
(MSjt4jlt.dll). Jet 3.52 only works with Jet's OLE DB provider and/or ADO going
to Jet data via the Jet OLE DB provider. For additional information, see the
following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
190463 What are MDAC, DA SDK, ODBC, OLE DB, ADO, RDS, and ADO/MD?
Note Jetcomp.exe is a stand-alone utility that allows you to compact
databases created with Microsoft Jet database engine 3.x. This utility may be
used in conjunction with Microsoft Jet database engine 3.51 for recovering
corrupted databases. Although it is possible to use the Microsoft Access
Compact utility or the
CompactDatabase method with Microsoft Jet database engine 3.51, Jetcomp.exe may
be able to recover some databases that these utilities could not. This is
because the Microsoft Access Compact utility and the
CompactDatabase method attempt to open and close a database before attempting to
compact it. In certain cases where these utilities may not be able to reopen
the database, Compact will be unable to proceed, preventing recovery of the
database. Jetcomp.exe does not attempt to open and close the database before
compacting, and may be able to recover some databases that the Microsoft Access
compact utility and the
CompactDatabase method could not.
The user interface of JetComp.exe is
in English only and is not supported by Microsoft Product Support Services.
However, JetComp.exe can be used to compact databases in any language supported
by the Microsoft Jet database engine. Jetcomp.exe is a freely distributable
utility, but requires that you have one of the following products installed:
- Microsoft Office 97
- Microsoft Access 97
- Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0
- A Microsoft Office Developer Edition 97 run-time
application that includes the run-time version of Microsoft Access
97
- A Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 run-time application that
includes Microsoft Jet database engine 3.5
