References - Standardize MDAC?

Hello everyone,

I'm having problems with broken/missing references when different
computers on the network open up an Access 2000 application(s).

From what I've read through postings, there are basically three ways to

remedy broken references.

1) find and use a machine to develop on that has the lowest MDAC
version.
2) code using late binding.
3) standardize all computers to the latest MDAC version (2.8).

Logically, standardizing MDAC on each computer makes the most sense to
me, although some postings have discouraged doing this.

Can anyone provide anymore insight into other possiblities or if I
should or should not go ahead with updating MDACs. FYI. There are about
20 PCs on the network, running Win2000 or WinXP.

TIA.
j.t.w
