I've not tested it yet. I'm mostly concerned with the JET components that they want updated. MDAC 2.5 dropped the Jet components and if you need those (this does) then you need to install the Jet40SP3_comp.exe. I'm not too pleased about replacing JET components on an application that runs with JET. High Pucker Factor.
