Try installating MDAC 2.8 again on the system. Then check the version of MDAC.

Hi
Thanks for your replay

when checking my server for mdac version i get unknown

trying to reinstall - actually don't install it (even when it prompt installation succeded) .

after it i still get mdac=unknown

i think that my server is to blame
