Has anyone else come across this?
I have an application originally developed in XP Pro / A2003 which is
deployed to two client machines running the same (ie full version of
Access).
I upgraded to Vista (yeah, I know) and A2007, converted my app, and
have been testing it on a machine running XP with the A2007 runtime
installed.
Amongst the various problems I've had was a referencing error that
(most obviously) resulted in the system not being able to show the
Date and Time variables. Turned out the missing reference was to
MSADOX.DLL (ADO Extensions...), which I understand to be something to
do with MDAC.
Here's the catch; Vista does not use MDAC, but instead uses something
called WDAC. However, this file still has the same name, ie
MSADOX.DLL, so I cannot register the "old" XP MSADOX.DLL on my machine
to correct the reference error.
Any ideas?

1. What happens if you reference the new file?
or
2. With a little work, using some tlb creation utilities available on
the web, you may be able to create an MSADOXnn.tlb file from
MSADOXnn.dll. An MSADOX25.tlb is available for download. A reference
to this file instead of the MSADOXnn.dll may avoid the confusion.
or
3. Of course, you could do what I would do. Many, perhaps all ADOX
calls are redundant; they can be duplicated with simple ADO/SQL calls.
Depending on your use of ADOX, it's quite likely that you can rewrite
these calls, and your reference to ADOX will be unnecessary and can be
removed.

Hi Lyle,
Thanks for that. I'm taking the latter route. I've decided references
are to be avoided at all costs!

Hi: I am developing an application using FoxPro 2.x tables. My client

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

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?
