Good Morning All

I'm trying to create a simple connection string to a SQL 2000 server using 
the old "SQL Server" driver - not the Native Client, but it is not listed in 
my list of providers.  I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.  I have reinstalled 
MDAC 2.8 SP1 with no difference. This is critical to me since I have clients 
who still connect with this driver.

If anyone remembers using SQL 2000 and creating a .udl file, you'll remember 
that when the list of providers came up, the "SQL Server" was there.  This 
would be the same whether using a gui or building the string manually.  It's 
the provider that's needed.  How I make the connection is irrelevant.

Does anyone know how to make the provider "SQL Server" appear in the list?

Thank you
