MDAC and ODBC are not the same thing. Whomever suggested that you install MDAC to correct an ODBC problem was incorrect. MDAC is Microsoft's version of ADO (Active X Data Objects) and if my memory serves me correctly, I believe it sets up a transparent "communication" layer for the developer between ADO and ODBC. But MDAC has nothing to do with JDBC or with ODBC by itself. If you are having "generic" ODBC problems, you need to reinstall the ODBC drivers off of your Windows disk. If you are having ODBC problems with a specific driver that you installed to go with a specific database you are using (Oracle, SQLServer, etc), then try reinstalling the ODBC driver for that specific database.
If you are REALLY familiar with Windows, you can take a look at the ODBCINST.INI file, which lists all the ODBC drivers that your operating system installs. You can then go to another machine, copy all the drivers listed on the ODBCINST.INI list, and recopy them back to your machine, and see if that corrects your problem. Be careful with your Windows registry, though. If your ODBC problem isn't in the drivers itself, but in the registry, this will not correct your problem.
