Any reason why MDAC 2.8 should NOT be installed on the above server? A
colleague has an error linking a Excel spreadsheet (linked server) and the
MS site suggests Jet 4 SP8. However it claims I do not have Jet 4 SP3 yet
and that is the minimum required to add SP8! I thought MDAC 2.8 would get me
bang up to date with Jet.

Thanks for any input.
