Connection without MDAC2.6

Hello Faculties
If a client is not upgraded with MDAC 2.6, is it still possible to
connect to SQL Server 2000 from that client?

Thanks in advance

Yes, but you may experience limitations in functionality. For instance,
MDAC 2.5 and earlier does not support named instances. You may not be able
to use the bigint data type, or XML data.
