Hi James,

The latest MDAC is the version 2.7SP1. It contains the latest ODBC. It's
also integrated with the Windows XP Service Pack 1. Please make sure you
have installed the Windows XP Service Pack 1.

Some older applications that do ODBC data access to a SQL Server etc may
require the use of older versions of the sqlsrv32.dll drivers.

However if the system is updated, eg with MDAC 2.7, the older application
fails to funcion, as the default sqlsrv32.dll has been updated

MORE INFORMATION
================

It is possible to set up and use alternative ODBC SQL Server data sources,
using older drivers, in addition to the standard drivers.

Standard drivers are usually stored in system32

The ODBC configuration defines what drivers are used and where they are
located

Eg if the application requires a data source called Test32 that needs to
use the older sqlsrv32.dll version 2.6

Set up a dedicated c:\winnt\system32\sqlsrv_26 directory containing the 2.6
versions of the sqlsrv32.dll and sqlsrv32.rll files

Set up a Driver called SQL Server 2.6 under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBCINST\ pointing at
c:\winnt\system32\sqlsrv_26\sqlsrv32.dll

  
and set Test32 to use the "SQL Server 2.6" driver

Let's see whether this works.

Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!

| I am unable to connect to SQL Server with a user with

| Thanks!
