RE: Which version of MDAC is best with Cold Fusion 4.5.1

I have done this and it seems to work well however the procedure is rather cryptic. The documentation that comes with comcheck explains how to do this. Also be sure that you have the latest version of comcheck. We had an older version installed on one machine and it did not have a listing of

Always get the latest mdac which is at version 2.6 right now. Just go to microsoft.com, select download, select keyword and w2k and type in "mdac" and you see the link for it. It's about a 5mb download. Xing - Original Message - From: "Jeffry Houser" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "CF-Talk"

If you're running clustered SQL Server, then definitely don't go to 2.6 - it breaks all connectivity with the servers 2.5RTM is more stable What about 2.6a? AFAIK, this still has a few issues - I would still stick with 2.5 (and I am) until it's proven that it works 100% Philip Arnold

RE: Which version of MDAC is best with Cold Fusion 4.5.1

Thanks for the very helpful and almost immediate feedback -- you guys are great... Seems concensus is that I should be running MDAC 2.5 with my present CF 4.5.1 and VFP/Access database environment. Conversly with SQL Server 2000 database backend, I should go to MDAC 2.6 and the latest

Which version of MDAC is best with Cold Fusion 4.5.1

I think I am currently run MDAC 2.1 (no patches) with Cold Fusion Profesional 4.5.1. Presently we are using ODBC against both VFP and Access databases/tables. Our DBA says that they are running MDAC 2.51.5303.5 elsewhere within the organization. Can and/or should I have our DBA upgrade to

I use 2.5 on our NT and Win2k boxes with no problems with 4.51. If you go to 4.52 RC2, or whatever the latest version is, it fixes the problems with MDAC 2.6 though. jon - Original Message - From: "Arden Weiss" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "CF-Talk" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 27,

RE: Which version of MDAC is best with Cold Fusion 4.5.1

Unless you're using SQL Server 2000, why not use MDAC 2.5? It tried and true (MDAC 2.6 hosed my machine two days ago). I wouldn't use 2.6 if you don't have a good reason to do so. ~Simon Simon Horwith Allaire Certified Instructor Certified ColdFusion Developer Fig Leaf Software 1400 16th St

Re: Which version of MDAC is best with Cold Fusion 4.5.1

MDAC 2.6, which is also installed with Win2k SP1 reintroduced a previous bug that had been patched in earlier MDAC's. It basically hoses Access (specifically pass-thru queries) and some ADO stuff if I remember correctly. The newest patch for CF fixes these problems, so it is safe to upgrade the
