Connecting Access From MS SQL 7.0

Hi,

I have been trying to connect to access database from SQL Server 7.0.
This machine is having 7.0 as a default instance and 2000 as a named instance.
Also the machine doesn't have access installed and Microsoft.Jet.4.0 is of version SP8 for Windows 2000
The access database is password protected.
I have tried all, OPENROWSET, OPENDATASOURCE, linked server, and ODBC.

These are some of the commands which I have tried but gives following error.
*******************************************
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'F:Geerimainilling.mdb';'bhagath';'bhagath', Employee)
AS a

Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]
**********************************************

SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'DataSource="F:Geerimainilling.mdb";
User ID=bhagath;Password=bhagath;Jet OLEDB:SystemDatabase="c:WINNTsystem32System.mdw"')...Employee

Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]

**********************************************
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Dbq=F:Geerimainilling.mdb;Uid=bhagath; pwd=bhagath','SELECT *
FROM Employee')

Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified]

**********************************************

I have tried all possible combinations but most of the time I come up with Error 7399 or 7303
In case if anyone has some other syntax and successful with that, please let me know

Regards
Jay
