Update your data access libraries.
MDAC 2.7 SP1 is a
complement that will help your system to communicate better. The access to the information by means of Microsoft technologies can be somewhat complicated, but thanks to
MDAC 2.7 SP1 you will accomplish a
standardization that is really necessary.
Even though the latest copies of Windows have improved the aspect, the universal access to system data was still carried out by means of libraries like
MDAC 2.7 SP1 in
Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 so the installation of
MDAC 2.7 SP1 is practically compulsory if you use one of these systems.
With
MDAC 2.7 SP1 you will have the same version of these libraries than the ones that were included in Windows XP SP1, that are rather up to date. What's more, these libraries are used in other packs by Microsoft like the Service Pack 3a of SQL Server 2000.
