MDAC problem

[Walt G]

I have been running the MDAC component checker from Microsoft which reports
a mismatch on MSADCO.DLL (expected version 2.81.117.0). What do I do now?

Try updating/installing v2.81 from data components site

I also have been ran the MDAC component checker from Microsoft which reports
a mismatch on MSADCO.DLL (expected version 2.81.117.0) and after spending
many hours researching Microsoft's site, I have come to the conclusion we
would have to install SP2.

But see, that is where the problem begins. After I installed the SP2 the
first time and also adding a patch for SQL Server, I lost my Access ODBC
drivers. I tried to do a restore but I lost that too. (I think that’s due to
not having too much memory space left on my hard drive.)

MS site states that MDAC 2.81 for Windows XP Pro can ONLY be found in SP2.
Well, I have reinstalled it many times and it still hasn’t fixed the problem
and you can't install v2.81 stand-a-lone.

The bottom line, there doesn’t seem to be a fix to this issue. I have seen
many people on here with the same issue.

There should be a way to fix Access ODBC drivers for Windows XP Pro.
Installing SP2 doesn’t help fix this problem!!! HELP!
