I get the following error when connecting to Analysis
Services Server as a client. My machine the client's
Operating system is Win 2000 Professional. The server is
intalled on a Win 200 Server.
When I try to register the Analysis Server, I get the
following error..
"Cannot connect to repository" and
"cannot open a database created with a previous version of
your application"

I found the problem myself. It was due to the Registry
entries for JET ODBCconnection . Hence I applied the
following reg file to correct the problem. And then it
worked.
