Re: MDAC memory leak hotfix



No there's no where else to get the fix. Call product support to obtain the free hotfix.

I am trying to solve a memory leak issue with an application that accesses
data in an SQL Server database using stored procedures. The calls to ADO are
being made through a third-party "toolkit", which I suspect is using the
method that is discussed in KB article 817518. I have contacted the maker of
the toolkit, but they couldn't tell me for sure if they are doing this.

Also, according to the knowledgebase, it doesn't look like this hotfix is in
MDAC 2.8 SP1. I did install MDAC 2.8 SP1, but the leak still seems to be
there. MS doesn't recommend installing the hotfix unless your application is
affected by this issue.

Another thing is that it says to call Product Support to obtain the hotfix.
Is there anywhere else I can just download it from? And will it work on MDAC
2.8 SP1, or do I need to go back to MDAC 2.8 before applying the fix?
