G'Day All, After installing MDAC 2.6 by way of SQL2000 and Mark Edington's patch on some platforms it appears that the error strings "disappear". (Lucky Me. I seem to be one of those lucky people) So instead of getting Invalid column name 'blah' you get the OLE error 80040E14 Does anyone have any work arounds for this? Pointers, suggestions etc.?
