   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
