MDAC 2.8

Hi,

Please if you can read and help me in this questions, as I am beginner in
programming. I am using ADO connection to MS Access database (DAO is not an
option) in VB.NET 2005 project and I have to setup deployment of program.

1. Do you reccomend installation of MDAC 2.8 on user computer? What is gain
in term with lets say ADO 2.6, or 2.7 version?
2. If other program uses MDAC 2.6 and I install MDAC 2.8, will I crush
connection to database of that other program? Sorry if question is stupid.
3. Do you reccomend installation of JET 4.0 SP8 ? Will I corrupt some other
program if I install?
4. I have read that there were some problems with ADO 2.8, is that fixed now
(if informatton is correct)?

Please if you can answer! Thank you.

Take a close look at all the requirements for the client when you develop a
data application based on VS 2005. (Net 2.0, etc)
