Oracle never touches the JetDBEngine. Really, I can't figure out how you
weren't getting the dialog boxes in the first place. Your settings that
automatically connected you to the MDB file in the past, like a DSN or
connectionless-DSN, may have been lost or misplaced. If you pass the
connection string into the OLEDB provider when making the call, you won't
get that anymore. I think you can use the admin/{blank} combo for UID/PWD.
