Question: MDAC 2.6 RTM to MDAC 2.5

B
I need advise. Are there any implications when installing MDAC 2.5 on top of
MDAC 2.6 RTM?
The applications on client pc's will only be running MS Access.

Reason of the downgrade is the server where I pull data from (SQL Server)
have MDAC 2.5.

Will it be safe to do a straight install without having to uninstall 2.6
first?

TIA!

The version of MDAC on the server is immaterial. (In fact, there's no real
reason why MDAC should even be installed on the server, unless you have
people logging on to the server and using it as a workstation.) You should
be able to use MDAC 2.6 to access the SQL Server data.

Hi I am deploying a winforms app via the windows installer and a VS.Net 2003 setup and deploymnet project.

I saw in another post that if you use the System.Data namespace you must deploy MDAC 2.6 or MDAC 2.7 with your application. Is that correct if you are using a DataSet to load Tables with XML data only? Like this: XMLDataFile = Application.StartupPath + @"\Data\theData.xml"; XMLSchemaFile = Application.StartupPath + @"\Data\theData.xsd";

Hi: I am developing an application using FoxPro 2.x tables. My client has AccessXP. AccessXP uses Visual Foxpro ODBC to connect to tables. It does not accept the ISAM Foxpro driver used in A97. I have a problem that when I link to the tables on the client machine AccessXP does not recognize boolean values in the FoxPro tables. I assume this is due to the ODBC driver. I'd like to test this out on my development machine. I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
