I am getting the following error and msft states that some key is missing on my sql server....

error that I am getting:-
FIX: Ad Hoc Access Incorrectly Permitted If DisallowAdhocAccess Registry Key Is Missing

the provider key that is missing is as follows:-
('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0')

They say to check the following and see if teh above oledb provider key is missing:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\\Providers

However I already have SP 4 on sql server 2000, am not sure why the key would be missing as the latest server pack should have fixed the issue i.e. after sp 3...

the below is help frommsft web site...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\<Instance name>\Providers\<Provider name>
where <Instance name> is the name of the instance of SQL Server (MSSQLServer for the default instance) and <Provider name> is the name of the OLE DB provider that is specified in the OPENROWSET or the OPENDATASOURCE function.
