I just bought a Dell with Windows Vista and I downloaded the T-quoter trial and installed it, but there is an error that has to do with the msjet40.dll I have searched tech forums and cant find any answers. Thought maybe someone here might have ran into the same problem. Thanks, Scott

how new is your computer? have you done all the updates?
Unfortunately my trial period ended and I haven't had a chance to try it again. It was something like cannot find the file but I was able to kick it off again and it started. they are nice over there - just email them the error and tell them the sequence you went through before it showed up. Like - started TQuoter and immediately this error came up. Nothing else was running, etc. that kind of stuff.
Good luck

Jet is Microsoft Access's ODBC driver, could be a problem with not having Microsoft Office installed, or simply MS just outdated the old driver. Microsoft has it available for download at: How to obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine
I talked with Microsoft only for them to know nothing but to just send me to Dell. I then let Dell connect to my computer and still no answer. After lots of research and talking back with T-quoter I found that it was all because I bought a Vista 64-bit OS. I needed the Vista 32-bit OS. yea, threw me for a loop too. Vista 64-bit has lots of problems with 32-bit programs, I think especially with ones that involve large data bases because the 64-bit OS doesn't use the msjet40 and the MDAC has issues. I'm not sure, I just found out I need a new computer because I also had problems with my brand new Graphtec GE5000 vinyl plotter driver installing and it also said compatible with Vista. So I take the Dell back to Best Buy and they let us exchange it. Well we looked on tags and most had Vista 64-bit OS or just Vista but never wrttien 32-bit. So after waiting 5 minutres to ask someone fore more information, between 3 Best Buy employees and none of them even acknowledged us enough to say be with you in a minute, we just went to front and got our money back. We then went to Circuit City and they looked on their system and didn't have 1 computer in stock that wasn't ran with Vista 64-bit OS. Luckily Office Depot had an Acer with Vista 32-bit and they gave us a better deal than Best Buy and treated us great. Now everything works like a charm, no problems with installation of any software or hardware. So....moral of the story is Microsoft sucks. There is no more XP unless you get a computer built somewhre and looks like Vista 32-bit is headed that way. But I do believe all the parties should be more specific about their products. Beware even if it says Vista compatible, there is more to it than that apparently.
