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:
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".
