Danger Will Robinson Danger!
Recent updates to Microsoft Office 2007 Beta renders GoldMine non-functional with BDE errors. This is confirmed with GoldMine 6.7 and lower. I saw the first instance of it with a client today. The fix is easy, uninstall the beta software.
Also, you may want to try the fix posted here:

It involves editing the registry to be careful but allows Office 2007 to function with BDE applications.

I had the same error message, but I have never installed the Office 2007 beta. I did install IE 7 beta, but I don't think that is causing my problems.

You may also get this with Microsoft Expressions.

Is this still a bug in the final release of office 2007?
