MDAC Upgrade

Jim
With the recent MDAC security warning I now have the task of deciding
if my company of 9000 desktops should push out an MDAC 2.8 package and
upgrade all the machines or simply distribute the MDAC security patch?
I'm an not a DBA by any stretch of the imagination. I would like to
upgrade the MDAC but am I correct in saying that there could
potentially be a problem with that if the MDAC on the server side
isn't compatible....l et's say 2.7 or lower? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm having problems using the DB2 Connect ODBC Driver in my SQL Server 2000 DTS packages. It started occuring after installing MDAC 2.7 (which is necessary for the .NET framework). This error occurs when I try to open the transformation that uses an ODBC Connection object that is pointing to the DB2 ODBC. Has anybody else seen this or has a solution other than re-installing everything and not loading the .net framework mdac 2.7. I...

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...

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?

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
