This may be flawed reasoning, but the version of MDAC that ships with and is installed with Windows 2000 is 2.5. Exchange 5.5 Sp4 runs fine on Windows 2000. I would assume that it would work just fine. However all precautions should be taken.

(waits for laughter to stop). This is the solution I've been told to use and unless I can show evidence of why MDAC (specifically odbc32.dll and odbcjt32.dll changes) are a bad idea, then I install. I did a dependency walker on those DLLs and on the store.exe and find a lot of shared DLLs between the two. That makes me very, very nervous. > -----Original Message----- > From: Cook, David A.
