I've had exactly that same problem. I wanted to test redsky but it says I need to update MDAC from 2.5, the last time I did that (up to 2.7) all my access connections died and I couldn't revert either so I had to rework the machine. Currently that is what is holding up my jump to redsky. I don't know if I want to take the chance.

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.
