That's right. The 64 bit system won't support Jet 4.0. I am quite sufferring from that problem too. So far, I couldn't any reliable solution to work around it yet. You can try a group of system stored procedures such as sp_OACreate, sp_OAMethod, sp_OAGetProperty and sp_OASetProperty. But, trust me it's difficult to use if you are not very familiar with VBA programming.
