Does anybody know anything about problems with MDAC 2.6 and Access 97? My
hosting provider adviced against using Access 97 on their servers because
MDAC 2.6 and higher would not support this properly. I decided to try
anyway. A few weeks it worked flawlessly, but all of a sudden no database
could be accessed anymore. The error message that is displayed on the ASP
page looks similar to having the database (re)moved.

I'd like to know why the problems only arose after some time (weeks) and not
right from the start. And if there is another solution besides upgrading to
a higher version of Access (I don't think my provider wants to install an
earlier version of MDAC). Although I have both 97 and 2000, I like Access 97
far better.
