Re: Microsoft Access and ODBC -- MIDRANGE-L


The problem with MS Access 2000 has to do with the new Jet Engine 4.0 that
is included with it.

You need to update your MDAC files to make Access 2000 Jet Engine compatible
with the Client Access ODBC driver. You can download the update at
www.microsoft.com/data.

I am using the new 2.5 version of MDAC and it is working fairly well.
