Question : ISAM

I use VB 6.0, create a report to link record of access(2000). When i run program(Ctrl_F5), occured a error "coudn't find installable ISAM"?

Answer : ISAM

This problem usually isn't even related to MDAC--here are a couple of the reposts from microsoft (when we had this problem it was directly related to the JET DLL not being found in the right spot):

ACC2002: "Could Not Find Installable ISAM" Error MessagePSS ID Number:
Q283881
Article Last Modified on 06-11-2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Access 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and a Microsoft
Access project (.adp).

For a Microsoft Access 2000 version of this article, see Q209805 .

Symptoms
If you try to import, export, or link a file by using an indexed sequential
access method (ISAM) driver, you may receive an error message if Microsoft
Access cannot find the ISAM driver.

Cause
ISAM drivers are used by Access to update file formats other than its own.
If the path to the ISAM driver in your Windows registry is invalid, or if
the ISAM driver does not exist, you may receive the following error
messages:

Could not find installable ISAM
-or-
The wizard is unable to access information in the file ''. Please
check that the file exists and is the correct format.


Resolution
To correct the problem, you must correct path name errors in the registry,
and install or replace the problem file.

In the case of the first error message, the file name is directly related to
the attempted operation.

In the case of the second error message, the file name is mentioned in the
text of the message.

Locate the relevant file in the following table.

File Name Import/Export ISAM for: Windows Registry
Msexcl40.dll Microsoft Excel
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel
Msexch40.dll Microsoft Exchange
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Exchange
Msrd2x40.dll Microsoft Jet 2.x
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Jet 2.x
Msrd3x40.dll Microsoft Jet 3.x
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Jet 3.x
Msltus40.dll Lotus 1-2-3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Lotus
Mspbde40.dll Imprise Paradox
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Paradox
Mstext40.dll Text HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Text
Msxbde40.dll dBase
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Xbase


Use Windows Explorer to search for the file.

If the file is found, record its path name; if it is not found, proceed to
step 9.

Start Registry Editor.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Browse to the registry subkey described in the table, and check the path
name against the actual path name.

Correct the path name if it is incorrect; proceed with these steps if it is
correct.

Quit Registry Editor. If you changed the path name, repeat the process that
produced the original error.

If the error persists, or if the path name was correct in step 6, rename the
file.

Start the Add/Remove Programs tool, start the Office XP Setup program, and
select the Repair Office option.

FIX: Error Message "Cannot Find Installable ISAM" After Installing Localized
Versions of Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 4PSS ID Number: Q273458

Article Last Modified on 05-16-2002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 SP4
Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symptoms
In Visual Basic 6.0, with the Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4)
installed, if you compile and run a localized program that contains an
intrinsic Data control with the DatabaseName property set to a Microsoft
Access 2000 database, the following error message appears:

Cannot Find Installable ISAM
The problem does not occur inside the integrated development environment
(IDE).

This problem only applies to non-English versions of Microsoft Windows and
Visual Basic. There are many other possible causes for this error. For
additional information, click the article numbers below to view the articles
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q209805 ACC2000: Could Not Find Installable ISAM Error Message
Q257819 HOWTO: Use ADO and ADOX with Excel Data from Visual Basic

Cause
Visual Studio 6.0 SP4 did not ship the DLLs that contain the localized
resources for Microsoft Access 2000 (for example, vb6it.dll for Italian). As
a consequence, the compiled localized program loads the Visual Studio
Service Pack 3 (SP3) version of these DLLs and throws the error message in
the "Symptoms" section.

The program works properly in the IDE, because the IDE (VB6.exe) uses a
localized VB6IDE.dll, which was included in Visual Studio 6.0 SP4.


Status
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.

This bug has been fixed in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5).

To download service pack 5, see the Visual Studio Product Updates page on
the following Microsoft Web site at:
