We're runninng MDAC 2.5 SP3 on our CF5/IIS5 (Win2k) servers.  I was just
looking into updating this to the latest 2.7 SP1 version of MDAC.  These
servers are primarily using Access and MySQL through ODBC.

The following was found on Microsoft's download page for MDAC 2.7 SP1 download
page:

-------------------------------------------------------
Starting with Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.6, MDAC no
longer contains Jet components. In other words, MDAC versions 2.6 and later do
not include Microsoft Jet, Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider, and the ODBC Desktop
Database Drivers.
-------------------------------------------------------

So, does this mean that updates 2.6 and later have no Access component,
therefore there's no real reason to update MDAC?  I've been burned before by
updating MDAC and losing support for older databases with no way to undo the
installation, so want to be very careful.

Thanks,
Jim
