I found an Issue with this yesterday.
My delphi app which accessed an MS Access 97 database through an ODBC driver
no longer worked because the field types on certain fields had changed from
"String" to "Memo", because the Mdac 2.1 upgrade installed the MS Access
2000 drivers.
It was a simple fix (change the field types in the app for the machines
affected), but its given me versioning headaches.

The client only needs to install the latest Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC) which is actually installed with IE 5.x anyway. Otherwise you can
just download the +- 7MB installation from www.microsoft.com/data - the file
is called mdac_typ.exe of which a version actually comes on the D5 cd.
