The Component Checker will perform a complete inventory of all files associated with MDAC and JET component releases, and provide you with the best match for your installed components, as well as a picture of where the installed components depart from the manifests of official Microsoft installations -- so you can tell when you should re-install the MDAC and/or JET components, and/or apply relevant Service Packs. Generally speaking, especially given the number of security updates released by Microsoft in the recent past, you will be best off simply instructing your users to visit the Windows Update site, and install all MDAC-, Microsoft Data Access-, and Jet-related updates. Hope this helps, Ted -- A: Yes. Quote: Q: Are you sure? | A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. | | Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
