ODBC Databases: Jet/Access success

[Barry Bird]

You'll find my list is a subset of Jet40, plus odbc files.  I tried to 
get Jet 4.0 SP8 from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114
but failed.  I don't think there is a Jet 4.0 SP8 as such any longer. 
It's all in the form of hotfixes. I have Windows XP SP3 to which I have 
some time ago updated with Jet 4.0 SP8. I downloaded 
WindowsXP-KB829558-x86-ENU.exe as that article says, set wine to Windows 
XP and executed
wine WindowsXP-KB829558-x86-ENU.exe
It refused to run, saying my version of XP was already ahead of where it 
was trying to update to.

Later down the Microsoft page it says:

"...the ODBC Desktop Driver Pack drivers. These drivers are included 
with the Windows 2000 operating system, the Windows XP operating system, 
and the Windows Server 2003 operating system."

This article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271908/
says
"MDAC version 2.6 and later do not contain Jet or Desktop ODBC drivers"

so it seems the latest MDAC's no use, so I use my list of files from my 
WinXP installation.  I may have missed something, but that's the way it 
seems it has to be.  Do you really want to go back to MDAC 2.5?

It may be that to fully support all features of JET databases and ODBC 
there are some other DLLs (look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810823.aspx) which should also 
be added.  What I gave is a minimum set to get my programs to work.
