    ODBC.  
    Create a new Access User DSN if there isn't one there already.  Choose 
    Configure then Repair on the election.mdb.  If that doesn't work, 
    play around with the Compact and Advanced options.  If that doesn't 
    work roll back to Access 97 until I get a copy of 2000.  Make sure 
    you do all this after re-installing MDAC.  Let us know how you make out 
    either way.
